As if a loss to the division rivals Los Angeles Rams wasn’t bad enough for the Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson also injured his finger and needed surgery. However, after the surgery, there is hope for an early comeback

Munich – After the past few days were not easy at all for the Seattle Seahawks, there is now reason for hope.

Quarterback Russell Wilson, who severely injured his middle finger during the 17-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, could be back on the field in as little as four weeks. This is reported by “ESPN” insider Adam Schefter.

Before Wilson’s surgery, the doctors were still expecting “at least six weeks” of downtime, but the voices after the surgery were much more positive. Four weeks “is our hope and, other factors aside, quite possible,” Seahawks sources reportedly said.

Seattle Seahawks: Every week with Russell Wilson crucial

The Seattle Seahawks have gotten off to a 2-3 start to the season, falling short of the playoffs contender’s lofty expectations. Any effort from the franchise quarterback could be season-defining accordingly.

So the doctors’ words will have brought great relief to the coaches around Pete Carroll. Even if backup Geno Smith can be trusted.
