Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that he “fully expects” rookie nickelback Nick Emmanwori to play in Super Bowl LX despite an injury scare with his ankle.
Macdonald said Emmanwori suffered a low ankle sprain when he rolled it late in practice Wednesday. The coach wasn’t sure how much, if at all, he’d practice Thursday afternoon.
“But he’s doing great,” Macdonald said. “Moving around. Just got to make sure we handle it the right way. Probably going to be overcareful and overcautious at this point to make sure we’re rolling going into the weekend.”
The Seahawks play the New England Patriots on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
