# Michael Hanich: Hanich expects Nick Emmanwori to miss the rest of the preseason and possibly the season opener against New England, and names three candidates — Noah Igbinoghene, D'Antony Bell and Bud Clark — as options to fill the starting nickel role, with Igbinoghene and Clark currently working with the first string. **Claimed:** Aug 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Michael Hanich — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/michael-hanich **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/onsi/3-seahawks-defensive-backs-to-watch-for-with-nick-emmanwori-out 3 checkable claims — 3 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > They will likely be without him for the remainder of the preseason and, perhaps, the first game of the season versus the New England Patriots. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Noah Igbinoghene to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Noah Igbinoghene, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Devon Witherspoon to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Devon Witherspoon, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bud Clark to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Bud Clark, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Noah Igbinoghene — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/noah-igbinoghene - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Devon Witherspoon — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/devon-witherspoon - Bud Clark — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/bud-clark ## What others said about the same people - Bobby Kownack on Seattle Seahawks: Picked winners and exact scores for every Week 4 game, including upsets by the Jets in Chicago and the Buccaneers over the Packers, plus the Jaguars at Cincinnati. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ab70bbf8-6373-48ac-af86-ce8d9da4da35 (scored 97.62) - Gennaro Filice on Seattle Seahawks: Picked winners and exact scores for every Week 4 game, including the Bills over a struggling Patriots offense, the Eagles over the Rams and the only Browns pick of the panel. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/6e4ccf4a-3c43-43c3-9669-50148f4e5452 (scored 88.1) - Dan Parr on Seattle Seahawks: Picked winners and exact scores for every Week 4 game, taking the 49ers to move to 4-0 over Denver, the Saints at home on Monday night and the Steelers in Cleveland. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/816599d6-f95e-4821-addf-bfd5466835e9 (scored 95.24) - Jeremy Pargo on Seattle Seahawks: Picked winners and exact scores for every Week 4 game, including an upset of the Colts by Washington in London and a Buccaneers win over the Packers. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3c480715-cdf3-4092-ac36-f7a4e338e2eb (scored 95.24) - Brooke Cersosimo on Seattle Seahawks: Picked winners and exact scores for every Week 4 game, including the Bears over the Jets, the Cowboys in the Battle for Texas and an upset of the Chiefs by the undefeated Raiders. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7717b6ff-86ce-4cda-b192-202b3b80c3c7 (scored 97.62) - Eric Moody on Seattle Seahawks: Moody picked final scores for all 15 Week 4 games, including upsets by the Jaguars at Cincinnati and the Saints over Atlanta on Monday night. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/716d760e-4e9a-419c-943a-aedb384a623f (scored 100) ## More depth chart calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - John Breech on Jameis Winston: Breech picked the Eagles to beat the Bears 23-16 on Monday night, and expected Jameis Winston to start at quarterback for the Giants in Week 4 against Arizona while newly acquired J.J.
