Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will have surgery to repair a broken bone in his wrist but still could be ready for the start of the regular season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Seahawks will determine how long Smith-Njigba will be sidelined based on the results of the surgery, which will be performed Tuesday in Philadelphia, sources told Schefter.
Smith-Njigba suffered the injury during Seattle's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday when he was tackled near the goal line after a highlight-reel catch in the second quarter.
The Seahawks selected Smith-Njigba with the 20th overall pick in this year's NFL draft, counting on the former Ohio State star to bolster an already talented receiver corps that features DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
