Nick Emmanwori starts camp on the sideline instead of the field

Training camp is supposed to be where a player cements what they built. For Nick Emmanwori, it's starting somewhere else.

Emmanwori came on as a meaningful piece of the Seattle Seahawks' defense in the second half of the season — the kind of player a team starts to count on and build around. So when the Seahawks opened training camp and his name appeared on the physically-unable-to-perform list — meaning he's currently sidelined from full practice because of an injury or physical condition — it was a noticeable absence, not a quiet one.

He wasn't alone on that list, but that doesn't really change what it means for him. The days when everyone is watching to see who's improved, who's locked something in, who's ready — those are happening without him in them right now.

What the injury is, and how long it keeps him out, isn't confirmed yet. That's the open question camp starts with.
