Sprained right ankle two weeks earlier in victory over Miami

-

Russell Wilson sprained his left knee in the second half of the Seattle Seahawks’ game against San Francisco on Sunday, the second time in three weeks he’s gotten hurt.

INJURIES

Wilson was pulled down awkwardly while being sacked early in the third quarter by Eli Harold, who was flagged for a horse-collar tackle on the play as he fell on Wilson’s lower leg. Wilson stayed down for a few moments before hopping up and limping around. He missed one play on that series — the first missed play of his career due to injury — but returned to throw one more pass.

Wilson was on the Seattle bench for its next possession while a brace was put on his left knee. Trevone Boykin took over and Steven Hauschka’s third field goal gave Seattle a 30-3 lead.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll tweeted of the injury: “He sprained his knee a little bit. He’ll do an incredible job of rehabbing.”

The knee injury comes on top of Wilson playing the last two weeks after suffering a sprained right ankle in the opener against Miami.
