  "account": "The Seattle Seahawks will keep an eye on wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba's health during a brief week preceding their Thursday night matchup against the Denver Broncos. Smith-Njigba found himself on the injury report, compiled on Monday, for Week 6 due to an ankle injury. He was rated as a limited participant despite not taking part in practice. Smith-Njigba was observed limping on the sideline following a clumsy tumble during the Seahawks' 32-29 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Although he added 102 receiving yards, his league-leading total, and recorded his seventh touchdown, he missed a key third-down catch in the final minutes. Smith-Njigba, who has appeared in every Seahawks game since being drafted 20th overall in 2023, showed no signs of a potential break in his streak after Sunday's loss. The star expressed his desire to recover but not dwell on the setback and move forward to continue improving. Losing Smith-Njigba would undoubtedly be a significant setback for Seattle's offense. This year, the reigning Offensive Player of the Year has outperformed 100 yards and scored a touchdown in four of five games, catching 129 targets, placing him second among Seahawks receivers with 116.6 yards per game.",
