Report: Jaxon Smith-Njigba set to begin season on active roster, not injured reserve

Have you heard, the Seattle Seahawks rookie class is struggling with injuries? Players getting hurt is no laughing matter, obviously, but the organization has seemingly struggled with a ridiculous number of rookie injuries on a yearly basis, whether this is simply confirmation bias or not. For this reason, many were disappointed but few were surprised when news broke that one of the team’s two first round picks was slated for preseason surgery. Jaxon Smith-Njigba looked phenomenal throughout the first two weeks of the preseason, but following an injury in the Week 2 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, reports emerged that he required surgery on his wrist to repair a slight fracture.
