Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will undergo wrist surgery Tuesday but still could be ready for the start of the regular season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Seahawks will determine how long Smith-Njigba will be sidelined based on the results of the surgery, which will be performed in Philadelphia, sources told Schefter.

Smith-Njigba suffered the injury during Seattle's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday when he was tackled near the goal line after a highlight-reel catch in the second quarter.
