Jaxon Smith-Njigba injury update

Smith-Njigba went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion, according to the Seahawks.

Seahawks say WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being evaluated for a concussion.

The NFL receiving leader's head hit the turf during the third quarter of Super Bowl 60, and Smith-Njigba made the decision himself to walk off the field toward the sideline, the NBC broadcast reported.

After being followed into the blue medical tent by a concussion spotter, Smith-Njigba walked back to the locker room under his own power for further evaluation. The injury left Seattle's receiving corps thin, with Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed becoming Sam Darnold's top wideouts with Smith-Njigba off the field.
