Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo underwent surgery to repair a broken hand sustained during the NFC Championship game, according to NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport. Despite the injury and subsequent procedure, Bobo is expected to participate in the upcoming Super Bowl.
Recovery Progress and Team Participation
The surgery took place the day after the NFC Championship, and Bobo has since maintained full participation status during practice sessions this past week, suggesting the injury is not severely hindering his ability to contribute to the team.
Career Background and Contract Status
Jake Bobo, 27, went undrafted out of UCLA in 2023 before signing a rookie contract with the Seahawks. His performance earned him a spot on the 53-man roster after the preseason. He is projected to be a restricted free agent this offseason. During the 2025 season, Bobo appeared in 11 games, recording two receptions for 20 yards and one touchdown.
Implications for the Super Bowl and Future Prospects
Bobo’s ability to play in the Super Bowl despite his injury highlights his resilience and the Seahawks’ confidence in his readiness. However, with his upcoming restricted free agency, how this surgery and injury might influence his future with the team remains a cautious point of reflection for both the franchise and the player.
