Russel Wilson Out - Torn Tendon in Finger

EricJ : 10/8/2021 9:14 pm
About 8 years ago I am playing basketball and my hand gets slapped hard while on the ball. The tip of my ring finger is hanging. Turns out I tore the tendon that runs long the top of the finger that allows you to straighten out the finger.

Had to keep the finger completely immobile for almost two months to allow it to repair itself (regenerate) as it was mostly torn, but not completely.

Now, going back to the game last night. I see Russ's hand and his finger is hanging just like mine was. I am thinking... shit I know what that is. The trainers are pulling on it thinking it was dislocated...but it wasn't.

A few hours ago I hear he had the same injury I did but he is getting surgery to repair it. It is possible the surgery could advance the repair/healing process, but for me this took almost two months.

Happened to me playing volleyball about 20 years ago. Blocked a ball with my fingertip on the first point of the first game and detached the tendon. It just hung there. Also wore a finger brace for months. But I did tape it up that night to the finger next to it after it happened, and played the whole match. Hahaha...

What are you talking about? Adams is the best safety since Roy Williams.

had the same injury. Had to immobilize the finger in a splint for at least two months, but I think it was longer. No surgery.

I tore the tendon in my thumb

It was so weird trying to get my thumb to move and nothing happened.

Russel may be back for the last few games, but with the Seahawks defense as bad as it is, they’ll be long out of it. He may just shut it down for the year.
I think Wilson

had a streak of not missing a game since he became starter in 2012?

Not as long as Favre obviously (or Rivers or Eli or Peyton for that matter), but still impressive.

I didn't see the game
