Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Leonard Williams on injury report before Broncos game

The Seattle Seahawks have two key players to monitor ahead of their Week 6 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Denver Bronco s. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and star defensive tackle Leonard Williams remain limited with ankle injuries.

Seattle released its second estimated injury report Tuesday (via Gregg Bell on X), with both players listed as limited participants for the second consecutive day. The Seahawks did not hold a physical practice because of their short week, meaning their participation designations reflect what the team estimates players would have done if practice had taken place. Seattle will release its final injury report Wednesday before Thursday night's game in Denver.

Smith-Njigba suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Despite the issue, the star wide receiver finished the game with five receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. He leads the NFL with 583 receiving yards through five games, making his availability a major storyline heading into the matchup against Denver.

Williams is also working through an ankle injury that initially surfaced during Seattle's Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran defensive tackle played against San Francisco, but his continued limited status is worth watching as the Seahawks prepare to face Denver's offense.

Seattle's injury report features several other players, including linebacker Drake Thomas (ankle) and linebacker Chazz Surratt (calf), who were both listed as non-participants. Running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) and backup quarterback Drew Lock (right forearm) remained limited. On a positive note, guard Beau Stephens was upgraded to full participation, while running back George Holani and wide receiver Irvin Charles were also listed as full participants.
