The Seattle Seahawks will be without edge rusher Boye Mafe for their Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants, marking his second consecutive game missed due to a knee injury. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that Mafe aggravated his injury during a previous game against the Miami Dolphins.
In Mafe's absence, veteran Uchenna Nwosu returns to the lineup after missing the first four games of the season with a sprained knee. Nwosu has a history of success against the Giants, having recorded multiple sacks in previous encounters.
Additionally, rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II will also miss the game due to a hamstring injury, while second-year center Olu Oluwatimi will be a healthy scratch for the third time in four games.
