Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson (finger) cleared to play as coach Pete Carroll hails QB's 'remarkable' recovery

RENTON, Wash. -- If all goes well for Russell Wilson over the next five days, the Seattle Seahawks' star quarterback will be back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

But Wilson merely returning to practice Monday -- exactly one month after finger surgery -- was an accomplishment that coach Pete Carroll hailed as "enormous" and "miraculous."

"This is a remarkable story of recovery and really of a guy intent that he was going to do this and pull it off," Carroll said. "He's way, way ahead of schedule and we just came off the practice field and he threw the ball all over the place.
