Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is relieved to be finally back in action. Wilson missed the last three games after injuring the middle finger on his throwing hand. The original prognosis was for a 6-8 week recovery after surgery but there was no way Wilson was going to miss that much time.
“I don’t think I’ve ever gone three or four weeks without throwing a football.,” Wilson told reporters on Thursday. “The thing that was really critical in the process was that we never stopped doing the work. I was always lifting, I was always moving, I was always preparing my mind, I was visualizing every rep, every defender, where people would be, so that was a big part of it. I kept my conditioning up and all of that so that was big a part of it.”
Wilson hasn’t officially been activated back to the 53-man roster, but everything points towards his staring in Green Bay on Sunday.
“I feel great, I feel really close – I’m not 100%, but I’m pretty dang close,” Wilson said. “I’m in the 90 percentile, if not higher. I feel great, I have great conviction about what I am doing and how I am doing it, my mindset is better than ever, I’m ready to roll and ready to go.”
