Russell Wilson is one of the NFL’s few iron men, but the Seahawks quarterback was forced to exit tonight’s game against the Rams. Wilson was pulled in the second half of tonight’s contest after suffering a hand injury, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times (via Twitter). The QB was officially listed as questionable to return.
Before exiting the game, Wilson had completed 11 of his 16 pass attempts for 152 yards and one touchdown (vs. one interception). While attempting a pass to Tyler Lockett during the third quarter, the QB’s hand slammed against the helmet of a Rams defender. Replays showed Wilson walking toward the sideline with a mangled hand, and after getting some quick treatment, he finished the drive with a hand off. He came back on the field for the next drive but only attempted one pass.
Wilson was finally replaced by backup Geno Smith, who completed each of his five pass attempts en route to a touchdown on his first drive of the game.
If Wilson is forced to miss any time thanks to the injury, it will be the first regular season game he’ll sit out since entering the league in 2012. Smith is the only other QB on the depth chart, but he hasn’t started a game since 2017. The Seahawks are also rostering quarterback Jake Luton on the practice squad.
If he can’t play, the Seahawks are done. Trading two 1st round picks for Adams was dumb. Betty White could cover better than him.
Blah blah
I’d trade two first round picks for Betty White
Betty white is worth 2 firsts and a third
Adams had an awful game. No impact at the line of scrimmage, and was exposed in the passing game. The Seahawks are done.
I think the ‘Hawks will reside in the bottom half of power rankings the rest of the season!
Ding dong the witch is dead!
Too bad for Pete the Cheat
Love how every year everyone says..
Seahawks are done. Yet… They never are. Altho this may do it. We about to see over the next 4-8 weeks just how much Russ carries this team.
But ride or die I’m always a 12
