Jaxon Smith-Njigba heads to locker room with unknown injury

Jaxon Smith-Njigba left the game midway through the third quarter for a concussion evaluation, as announced by the Seahawks. The wide receiver was initially assessed by trainers on the sidelines before being examined in the medical tent. Smith-Njigba, the 2025 AP Offensive Player of the Year, had recorded three catches for 24 yards on nine targets before his exit. This development occurred during a game where the Patriots struggled offensively, with a drive being set back by an illegal block penalty and a sack on quarterback Drake Maye.
