After Wednesday’s Super Bowl practice, multiple NFL insiders reported that Seattle Seahawks rookie safety, Nick Emmanwori injured his ankle and would need to go through further tests to determine the severity. This is terrifying news for Seahawks fans as it felt eerily similar to when Kam Chancellor injured his knee in practice days before losing to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 49.

Well, Seahawks fans, the storm of worry can start to calm (at least a little bit). When asked about Emmanwori’s ankle by Seattle Sports radio, fellow safety, Coby Bryant stated “yeah, yeah he’s good.” This is surely welcoming news only a few days away from the big game. Despite the welcoming news, this does not mean that Emmanwori will be 100%. Keep in mind, Chancellor, despite tearing his MCL days before Super Bowl 49, still went on to play.

It would take a lot more than an ankle injury or torn MCL to keep most NFL Players out of the Super Bowl, especially if the injury occurs the week before the game. Seahawk and NFL fans alike may not know the severity of Emmanwori’s ankle injury until Sunday when he suits up against the Patriots. It could easily be a non-story (similar to Darnold’s oblique). However, considering the impact Emmanwori has on this defense, if the ankle hobbles him, this injury could still significantly impact the game.

Regardless, Bryant’s statement today indicates that Emmanwori looks ready to play against the Patriots. Time will tell if the ankle will be a non-story, or if it shows up in the big game.
