Seahawks News
A new Seahawk will don the No. 3 jersey for the first time since Russell Wilson. The team announced that rookie safety and second-round pick Nick Emmanwori will wear #3 this season.
No one has worn the number since Russell Wilson was traded to the Broncos in 2022. Emmanwori will also be the first defensive player in franchise history to wear #3.
First-round pick Grey Zabel is taking #76, the same as several past Seahawks offensive lineman, including Hall of Famer Steve Hutchinson and Pro Bowlers Russell Okung and Duane Brown. Meanwhile, third-round quarterback out of Alabama Jalen Milroe scooped up #6.
Sounders News
A star player for the Sounders will be out of action for at least a month. Coach Brian Schmetzer announced today that forward Jordan Morris will miss an estimated six weeks with a left hamstring injury.
The club’s all-time leading scorer suffered the injury in last week’s 1-1 draw against Colorado. An MRI later showed that it’s the same area as Morris’ hamstring injury he suffered in March that forced him to miss four matches.
The Sounders will look to shake off the news this Saturday when they host St. Louis City SC.
