Emmanwori, Maye removed from SB injury report

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Nick Emmanwori and his sprained ankle are officially good to go for Super Bowl LX.

The same goes for Drake Maye and his right shoulder.

As expected, the Seattle Seahawks’ rookie nickelback has no game designation for the Super Bowl. He was listed as a full participant Friday, though the Seahawks worked only at walk-through tempo in their second-to-last practice before facing the New England Patriots on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

Robert Spillane (ankle), who calls plays for the defense, and edge rusher Harold Landry III (knee) are officially questionable, although both expressed optimism in recent days that they would play.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was a full participant for a second straight day Friday and has no game designation.

Emmanwori went down late in Wednesday’s practice when he rolled his ankle, suffering what coach Mike Macdonald called a low sprain. He walked off on his own power but was not able to return to practice. But Emmanwori and Macdonald said Thursday that he would play Sunday.

Emmanwori, a finalist for the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award that went to Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger, called it «just a little scare.» Emmanwori did not practice Thursday before returning to full participation Friday.

«No designation for Nick,» Macdonald said after practice Friday, via the pool report from ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler. «Turns out, he’s alive.»

That quip was an example of Macdonald’s stated desire for the Seahawks to be «loose and focused» this week.

They’re also healthy.

Darnold had been listed as limited on the first eight injury reports the Seahawks released after he hurt his oblique Jan. 15.

Fullback Robbie Ouzts (neck) is the only Seahawks player with a game designation for the Super Bowl. He’s questionable after limited participation all three days this week. Brady Russell, the Seahawks’ special teams captain, would step into the fullback role if Ouzts can’t play.

Left tackle Charles Cross, who played through a foot injury in the NFC Championship Game, was also a full participant Friday.

Maye was removed from the injury report Friday after having been limited last week because of his right throwing shoulder. Maye participated fully in practices each of the past three days in California.

He previously said he turned a corner on the flight to the Bay Area on Sunday, and on Thursday he added, «I’m not trying to lie to you guys. I’m saying I’m feeling great.»

Spillane practiced on a limited basis the past two days in his first return to the field after sustaining the injury in the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 25. Landry, who led the team with 8.5 sacks in the regular season, missed the AFC Championship Game as he managed his lingering injury.
