The Seattle Seahawks are on the cusp of receiving some terrible news that will turn their 2021 season upside down.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN dropped damning news that the Seattle Seahawks are bracing for Russell Wilson to miss at least a month and possibly 6-8 weeks with his ruptured middle-finger tendon that will likely require surgery. Fowler adds that Seattle is thinking about Wilson’s long-term health and Geno Smith is expected to take over as the team’s starter.
