RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson said he needed to have his jaw realigned as a result of a hit he took in the team's win over the Arizona Cardinals last week.
He feels fortunate to have avoided a fracture.
"It was pretty close," Wilson said Friday. "The doctor was like, 'Man, any harder, we probably [would have] had to wire your mouth shut,' so that was a good thing that didn't happen."
The hit occurred on a third-quarter sack by linebacker Karlos Dansby, who was fined $18,231 by the NFL, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss.
