Russell Wilson was hit basically in the face by Karlos Dansby in the third quarter of the Seahawks' 22-16 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. Here's video of the blow—you can see Wilson close his eyes when he sees Dansby on a path towards his chin.
Wilson lay on the ground for a bit but didn't show any outward signs of a concussion. He wasn't woozy or dizzy. Still, referee Walt Anderson decided he should leave the game to be evaluated for a concussion. That's when things got controversial—Wilson sat down in the area where the tent that's used for evaluation would be pulled over him, but cameras showed him getting up before medical officials attended to him.
