Three days after suffering an MCL sprain in the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the San Francisco 49ers, Russell Wilson was a full participant in practice at Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Wednesday, with head coach Pete Carroll noting earlier in the day that the Seattle quarterback is "pretty determined" to play this Sunday against the Jets, adding that he "would be surprised" if Wilson did not play at New York.

Love his toughness, not so big on it clouding our judgement.

That said, he'll be able to have a two week break after this and I'll take a gimpy Russ over a turnover-happy udfa rookie.

Just more proof that Wilson is a Cyborg. How else could one take so many poundings and continue to get up and fight on as much as he does? It explains everything!!!! :sarcasm_off:

I just hope that his fierce determination and competitiveness doesn't override common sense to allow these injuries to fully heal before his next hit could be his last of the season. It's a valid concern.

Exactly. He is key to a Lombardi, and that is the ultimate goal. He might be totally fine, but trying to be a tough guy now and not being able to play in the playoffs would be a bad choice.

It won't fully heal. The question is will he be able to escape the Jet's defenders.

Stretched ligaments are never the same. Torn ligaments require surgery to repair if it is a complete tear. Most athletes with torn MCLs don't have surgery. The idea that rest will make RW's knee stronger is a myth. Wearing a brace will help to stabilize the knee and provide a little more protection. If he's not in pain there is no reason to not play now.

Russell Wilson is a client of Drew Morcos >>>> [urltargetblank]http://motusspecialists.com/#home-top[/urltargetblank]

"Russell Wilson’s taking all the hits, and he keeps coming back. When Russell Wilson’s left leg collapsed under the weight of 49ers linebacker Eli Harold, rehab specialist Drew Morcos was on his couch. Two things happened. One, before Wilson left the field, Morcos was on the phone with Wilson’s agent, Mark Rodgers. And Morcos was on his way to the airport to fly to Seattle before Wilson went back in the game. Two, Morcos thought that there was a pretty good chance that Wilson was okay." >>> second article >>>> [urltargetblank]http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/09/28/nfl-china-international-series-london-mexico[/urltargetblank]

And for all those experts who were critical of his stature, how many prototypical QBs would have handled those two incidents (ankle, knee)? Done for season or close, would be my guess.

Again highlights how much they misread Wilson's stature and dismissed him as too small. Well, he may have a few limitations from his height, but he's built thick and his compactness makes him less vulnerable than a larger/lanky QB.
