The Seattle Seahawks were potentially dealt a significant blow prior to Super Bowl LX.<\/p>\n

Nick Emmanwori, their rookie safety who has been described as an \u201canimal\u201d by Tom Brady, suffered an ankle injury<\/a> during practice on Wednesday at San Jose State University, according to a pool report released by the Pro Football Writers of America.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had an ankle today,\u201d Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said, per the report. \u201cWe brought him in to look at it, and we\u2019ll kind of go from there to figure out what are the next steps?\u201d<\/p>\n

NFL Media\u2019s Ian Rapoport shared that the club would have imaging done to determine the severity<\/a> of the injury.<\/p>\n

Emmanwori, who has become a vital part of his team\u2019s defense, reportedly injured himself while defending a pass late in practice and had to be comforted by coaches and teammates after walking off the field under his own power. The Seahawks did not provide further comments beyond those of Macdonald.<\/p>\n

If you can remember back more than a decade ago, something similar happened when Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor sprained his knee just days prior to a loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.<\/p>\n

Seattle will hope this situation ends with a better result \u2014 both teams will take the field at Levi\u2019s Stadium on Sunday, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seattle Seahawks were potentially dealt a significant blow prior to Super Bowl LX.
