Seahawks Rumors: Blake Bortles Working out for Seattle After Russell Wilson's Injury

The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly bringing in veteran quarterback Blake Bortles for a workout, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

The move is being made after starting quarterback Russell Wilson suffered a finger injury during Seattle's Week 5 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Wilson was replaced by Geno Smith in the game, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler subsequently reported that Wilson is expected to miss four to eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand.
