It’s been a week since Russell Wilson, quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, sustained multiple injuries to the middle finger on his throwing hand, and early Friday afternoon the team officially ruled him out for the Sunday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Thus, the question had become, with multiple healthy scratches possible, perhaps even likely, would the Seahawks keep Wilson on the 53 man roster rather than move him to injured reserve? The fact that Wilson had yet to make the move to IR had some fans wondering if Wilson would take the first snap of each game just to keep his streak of consecutive starts alive.
