Russell Wilson looks like he’ll be out for a while. So Seahawks’ Geno Smith era may begin

New York Times  

Russell Wilson is unable to adequately throw a football. “I’m really going to try not to talk about the details of it because I don’t know,” coach Pete Carroll said Friday morning. I want to go to the specialist and make sure he tells us, but there is something going on and we have to figure out the extent of it and what is the next step to deal with it.” Asked on KIRO-AM radio Friday morning if Wilson is dealing with mallet finger — a sprain resulting from a damaged tendon, making it difficult to flex the finger — as has been reported, Carroll said: “It could be that, yeah.” But he didn’t want to speculate until receiving official word from the specialist. “They just didn’t call it.” Carroll and the rest of the team say they have the utmost confidence in Smith, whose Next Gen Stats passing chart looked encouraging for anyone hoping Seattle implements more intermediate and short throws into its offense under Waldron, the new offensive coordinator. It’s a little bit different game right then.” If Smith makes his first start since 2017 on “Sunday Night Football” against the Steelers in Week 6, he’ll have another weapon in tight end Gerald Everett, whose final negative COVID-19 test didn’t come back from the testing center in California until late Thursday night.
