RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Until now, Russell Wilson has never missed a game and only on rare occasions been absent for a practice.
For the next few weeks, the sight of Wilson on Monday wearing a jacket and baseball hat while his teammates went through practice is going to be a regular sight for the Seattle Seahawks after their starting quarterback underwent finger surgery late last week.
Wilson’s surgery last Friday in Los Angeles repaired a ruptured tendon in what often is referred to as mallet finger, and a “fracture-dislocation” of the joint at the top of his middle finger on his right hand.
