Russell Wilson Officially Activated Off IR, Could Still Have Trouble With Grip and Deep Throws

And now it's official, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson has been activated in time to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Wilson is hitting our expected timeline for the finger injury he suffered Week 5. His pin is out and the fracture should be mostly healed, but he still might have trouble with his grip and throwing the deep ball. Either way, having Wilson back will give a huge boost to the Seattle offense, which is still without running back Chris Carson. We expect Aaron Rodgers to be activated Saturday from the COVID reserve list, setting up the key quarterback matchup of the week.
