Northwest Sports Update New Seahawks jersey numbers, key Sounders injury, former Sehome HS star exits WWU and more

The Seahawks confirmed that rookie safety Nick Emmanwori will wear the No. 3 jersey this season, the first player to do so since Russell Wilson's trade to the Broncos in 2022. Notably, Emmanwori is the first defensive player in franchise history to wear this number. Meanwhile, Sounders forward Jordan Morris will miss approximately six weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during last week's draw against Colorado. This injury mirrors a previous issue from March that sidelined him for four matches.

The Mariners are enjoying a four-game win streak and have scored 35 runs in their last four games, showcasing one of the best offenses in baseball lately. Randy Arozarena boasts a 25-game on-base streak, while J. P. Crawford is on a nine-game hitting streak. As they prepare for a critical series against the Texas Rangers, who are two games behind them in the AL West, the Mariners aim to maintain their momentum despite injuries to key players.

Coverage for the opener against the Rangers begins at 4:00 PM, with first pitch at 5:05 PM on KPUG.
