Wilson has averaged 1.80s TTT so far in 2023 (4th-fastest) | On quick throws (2023): 19/17 90 yds, 1 INT

In Week 2, Russell Wilson attempted a pass into a tight window on only 1 of his 32 passes (3.2%)

Posts vintage line in loss

Wilson completed 18 of 32 pass attempts for 308 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington. He added 56 rushing yards on six attempts.

Analysis: Wilson turned back the clock and posted a stat line we haven't seen since his days in Seattle. It was the first time the 34-year-old threw for 300 yards with multiple scores since joining Denver last season. Wilson came out with a more aggressive mindset as a passer and runner following an underwhelming debut under head coach Sean Payton in Week 1. He connected for two deep scores to Marvin Mims Jr. and Brandon Johnson, and his 56 rushing yards would have been the second-highest total from his…read more

Mistake-free but quiet in loss

Wilson completed 27 of 34 passes for 177 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added one rush for one yard in the Broncos' 17-16 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson's first full game running new head coach Sean Payton's scheme resulted in a largely unremarkable performance save for his pair of five-yard touchdown passes to Courtland Sutton and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. The veteran signal-caller's numbers were otherwise mostly indistinguishable and even less robust than many of his disappointing 2022 stat lines, and that the lackluster season-opening performance came against a vulnerable defense in that of the Raiders' adds to the fantasy-related…read more

Not expected to play

Wilson and most of Denver's other starters aren't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson played in Denver's first two preseason games and completed 10 of 19 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. He may not have top receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) in the lineup when the Broncos host the Raiders in Week 1.

Plays just one drive Saturday

Wilson completed three of his six pass attempts for 24 yards and rushed for 25 yards on three carries in Saturday's preseason tilt against San Francisco.

Analysis: Head coach Sean Payton said that Wilson and the starters would see 20 to 24 snaps against the 49ers, but he wound up limiting his starting quarterback to the opening drive (10 plays). There is no injury to report here, as Payton may simply have changed his mind mid-game. Wilson didn't do much from the pocket, but he did break off a 17-yard scamper, something we have seen less of from the 34-year-old in the later stages of his career. Wilson saw his stock drop farther than any player following…read more

Slated to play 20-24 snaps Saturday

Coach Sean Payton noted after Thursday's practice that Denver's starters are expected to play "somewhere between ''20 and 24 plays'' in Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. In last Friday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, Wilson logged 20 snaps.

Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Broncos plan to use key players in their preseason finale, but the team's key healthy starters are once again in line to see work this weekend, with the report also noting that RB Javonte Williams -- who is bouncing back from ACL surgery -- is in line to see action on 10-to-12 plays. Against Arizona last week, Wilson completed seven of 13 pass attempts for 93 yards and a touchdown before being relieved by Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci.

Finishes first exhibition strong

Wilson completed seven of 13 pass attempts for 93 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Wilson and most of the starters wound up playing 22 snaps on offense (four drives) after head coach Sean Payton said that they would be limited to 15 prior to kickoff. Perhaps Denver's starters refused to end the day after their first drive resulted in a three-and-out, which was then followed by two missed field goals (12 and 40 yards) off the leg of new kicker Brett Maher. The decision to send the starters back out there a fourth time turned out to be a smart one when the 34-year-old Wilson…read more

Starters to see 15 snaps Friday

Coach Sean Payton said Wilson and the Broncos' first-team offense are in line to see roughly 15 snaps during Friday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson will see action for the first time since his rough 2022 campaign Friday, albeit in limited preseason work. Still, it will be worthwhile to track whether Denver's offense is able to operate more smoothly with Payton calling the shots, even if only for a series or two. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci will be in line to take the field after Wilson finishes up under center in Arizona.

In line to see preseason work

Coach Sean Payton noted Saturday that the Broncos' starters, including Wilson, are slated to see playing time during the preseason, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis: With that in mind, Wilson is among the team's healthy key players who are candidates to see snaps in Friday night's preseason opener against the Cardinals. In the event that he does log snaps in the contest, we wouldn't expect it to be a long appearance for Wilson, with fellow QBs Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci also on track to see action versus Arizona.

Showing improved mobility

Wilson is seemingly in better shape than last season and could utilize his mobility more in 2023, Jon Heath of BroncosWire reports.

Analysis: Wilson appears poised to get back to a more mobile playing style that made him such a dynamic quarterback in Seattle for the first nine years of his career. In 2022, however, the veteran posted just 55 rushes for 277 yards, accounting for his second-lowest single-season total in rushing attempts and third-lowest in rushing yards. With Wilson losing weight this offseason, head coach Sean Payton has allowed his franchise quarterback to scramble and practice off-script plays. "I'm comfortable when…read more

Healthy and lean at OTAs

Wilson (knee) is participating in OTAs and said he feels "leaner and meaner" after losing some weight in the offseason, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Fitness was the least of his problems last year, but it's at least good to hear Wilson is healthy and feeling strong after having arthroscopic surgery on his knee this winter. The Denver offense has a bunch of other players coming back from more serious injuries/surgeries, namely RB Javonte Williams (ACL), LT Garret Bolles (broken leg) and WRs Tim Patrick (ACL) and KJ Hamler (torn pectoral). Even so, Wilson should be set up better under new coach Sean Payton than he was last year with Nathaniel…read more

Recovering from knee procedure

Wilson, who is recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee that he underwent after the end of the 2022 season, is expected to be healthy for OTAs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson is reportedly already working out and throwing following his knee procedure, so he doesn't seem to be carrying any lingering health concerns heading into the offseason program. The Broncos are hoping that new head coach Sean Payton will be able to facilitate a bounce-back season from Wilson in 2023, after the nine-time Pro Bowler finished with just 3,524 passing yards and a 16:11 TD:INT over 15 games during his first year in Denver.

Positive end to poor season

Wilson completed 13 of 24 passes for 283 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and rushed eight times for 18 yards in the Broncos' 31-28 in over the Chargers on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson's efficiency was off the charts in terms of completion-to-yardage ratio, the product of averaging 11.8 yards per attempt. The veteran signal-caller's touchdown passes went to the unorthodox trio of Eric Tomlinson (three yards), Tyler Badie (24 yards) and Courtland Sutton (20 yards), but he still took a pair of sacks and struggled with his accuracy. Wilson has already vowed to do a top-to-bottom evaluation of his offseason preparation in order to put together an exponentially better…read more

Three total touchdowns in loss

Wilson completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. He added 27 rushing yards and two touchdowns on four attempts.

Analysis: After a disastrous Week 16, Wilson bounced back with his second solid fantasy performance against Kansas City this season. Prior to Sunday, the veteran rushed for just one touchdown all season. Wilson's mobility has always been a major part of his game, so the use of his legs to find the end zone was certainly a welcome sight. With that said, the Broncos have a lot to figure out on offense ahead of next season with Wilson at the helm. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Wilson plans to…read more

Still in team's long-term plan

Broncos CEO Greg Penner said Tuesday that Wilson is still central to the team's long-term plan and is expected to rebuond in 2023, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The in-season firing of first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett earlier this week led to speculation that Wilson could be the next be the next big name headed out of Denver, even though he signed a five-year, $245 million extension in early September. The more likely scenario is one where Wilson finishes out the final two weeks of the season under interim coach Jerry Rosburg before getting a fresh start in the offseason with a new coaching staff. Rosburg confirmed Wednesday that Wilson will…read more

Woes continue with three picks

Wilson completed 15 of 27 pass attempts for 214 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 51-14 blowout loss to the Rams. He added 17 rushing yards on two attempts.

Analysis: Wilson returned from a one-game layoff due to a concussion, but his fantasy managers are probably wishing he sat this one out based on the poor results. The 34-year-old showed some signs of life in his last start against the Chiefs when he threw three touchdowns for the first time this year, but he followed that up with his first three-interception game in this horrid loss. Wilson was pulled for Brett Rypien late in the contest, but the backup didn't fare much better (4/8, 45 yards, INT) than…read more

Not listed on injury report

Wilson (concussion) isn't listed on the Week 16 injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Analysis: Wilson cleared the concussion protocol last week but was held out of an eventual win over the Cardinals anyway. Now that he's further removed from the head injury, Wilson will return to the starting job, as confirmed by head coach Nathaniel Hackett on Wednesday.

Full go this week, per coach

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wednesday that Wilson (concussion) is "full go" as Sunday's game against the Rams approaches, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Per Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site, Wilson has already cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, but the team elected to err on the side of caution in holding the quarterback out for the second time this season in a Week 15 win over the Cardinals. Brett Rypien picked up the start in Wilson's stead, but he'll return to the backup role this Sunday with Wilson deemed ready to go.

Won't play this week

Wilson (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Cardinals, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: The report relays that Wilson has progressed through the NFL's concussion protocol, but coach Nathaniel Hackett noted Friday that "as an organization, we've decided to give him another week." As a result, Brett Rypien will draw the start at QB for the Broncos this weekend, while Wilson will target a return to action Week 16 against the Rams.

Will be limited Thursday

Wilson (concussion) is slated to practice in a limited fashion Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Wilson didn't practice Wednesday, so the QB's looming limited participation Thursday is a step in the right direction for him in advance of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. However, the signal-caller will need to progress fully through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to gain clearance to play this weekend. If that doesn't happen, Brett Rypien would be in line to fill in for Wilson in Week 15.

Not practicing

Wilson (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Neither will wideout Courtland Sutton, who missed Sunday's loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring injury, per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News. Renck also notes that Wilson is doing some form of physical activity, which suggests he's making progress in the five-step concussion protocol even if he isn't ready to practice. The Broncos will turn to Brett Rypien under center if Wilson isn't ready for Sunday's matchup with Arizona.

Remains in protocol

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed following Sunday's 34-28 loss to Kansas City that Wilson is in the concussion protocol, clouding the quarterback's status for the team's Week 15 game versus Arizona, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. "We'll go through the step-by-step process and do it the right way," Hackett said, regarding Wilson's potential to play this Sunday.

Analysis: Per Legwold, Wilson said he "felt great" when he was examined by the Broncos' team medical staff Monday, but his availability for this weekend's contest against the Cardinals will ultimate hinge on him gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. Wilson suffered a head injury early in the fourth quarter when he was tackled hard to the ground on a scramble but doesn't have a documented history of concussions. Given that Denver has been eliminated from playoff contention, the team could…read more

Tests confirm concussion

Wilson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a concussion, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson stayed down with a glazed look in his eyes after taking a big hit. He got up and went into the blue medical tent, then subsequently the locker room for concussion testing while sporting a noticeable welt on his forehead. The testing confirmed a concussion, so Brett Rypien will lead Denver's offense the rest of the way Sunday. Wilson will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 15.

Being evaluated for concussion

Wilson left Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs after hitting his head hard on the turf at the end of a scramble in the fourth quarter, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson remained on the ground for a spell before slowly making his way to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room, per Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. The Broncos announced shortly thereafter that Wilson was being evaluated for a concussion, which, if confirmed, will end his Week 14 with 247 yards, three touchdowns and one interception on 23-for-36 passing and four carries for 57 yards.

Underwhelming in latest loss

Wilson completed 17 of 22 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 21 yards.

Analysis: Wilson's tough first season in Denver continued in trademark fashion Sunday, with the Broncos blowing a late lead despite the Ravens losing Lamar Jackson to a knee injury early and both Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy available to open the game. However, Sutton eventually exited with a hamstring injury, once again leaving Wilson with a makeshift receiving corps against a tough defense. Consequently, points were once again at a premium, and Tyler Huntley was ultimately able to help lead…read more

Struggles continue in Week 12 loss

Wilson completed 19 of 35 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers. He added eight yards on two rushing attempts and lost a fumble.

Analysis: Wilson's struggles continued in the first half, as he threw for only 53 yards and fumbled just outside the red zone en route to a 10-3 halftime deficit. Things didn't get much better after halftime outside of a one-yard touchdown pass to rookie Brandon Johnson late in the fourth. Wilson's underwhelming play is the primary reason for Denver's ugly 3-8 record heading into a Week 13 trip to Baltimore.

Efficient in loss

Wilson completed 24 of 31 passes for 247 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Raiders. He added one rush for eight yards.

Analysis: Wilson has produced varying degrees of efficiency this season, though he put together a strong performance in that regard by averaging 8.0 yards per attempt. However, his fantasy production remained uninspiring due to his lack of touchdowns, and he still has tallied multiple touchdowns in only one game this season. More positively, after topping 240 passing yards only once in his first four contests, Wilson has topped that mark in four of his last five matchups.

Performance regresses

Wilson completed 21 of 42 passes for 286 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans. He added eight rushing yards on seven attempts.

Analysis: Wilson turned in his highest yardage total since Week 1, but that was mostly due to volume as he averaged only 6.8 yards per attempt. Much of that damage came on a 66-yard touchdown strike to Jalen Virgil that came midway through the second quarter -- one of his two completions of more than 20 yards. Wilson lost Jerry Jeudy (ankle) on Denver's first offensive play, which explains some of his struggles, but he's failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in seven of eight games this season and has…read more

Shows improved efficiency

Wilson completed 18 of 30 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars. He added four rushes for 17 yards.

Analysis: In contrast to Denver's Week 6 loss, Wilson got off to a slow start in Sunday's win, as he had 19 passing yards and an interception through the team's first three offensive possessions. However, he managed to effectively distribute the ball from there, particularly to Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich while also finding KJ Hamler for a 47-yard gain to set up the game-winning touchdown. Wilson has still managed multiple touchdowns in a game only once this season, but he managed 8.4 yards per attempt…read more

Active for Sunday's game

Wilson (hamstring) is officially listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Analysis: The QB approached the contest minus an injury designation after practicing fully Friday and is in uniform Sunday. Wilson is thus on track to draw the start the start versus Jacksonville in London after sitting out Denver's 16-9 loss to the Jets in Week 7.

To start Sunday

Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Wilson (hamstring) will start Sunday versus the Jaguars barring any setbacks, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson didn't have any limitations at Friday's practice, per Stevens, so it looks like he's even on track to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest in London. The veteran quarterback said Thursday that he feels felt "great" and "ready to roll" Week 8, per Jeff Legwold of ESPN, and it looks like his mobility under center may be unaffected. It's still worth noting that Hackett qualified Wilson would start as long as he avoids any setbacks, so his status will still warrant…read more

Logs another limited practice

Wilson (hamstring) remained listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Per Jeff Legwold of ESPN, Wilson indicated Wednesday that he felt "great" and "ready to roll" as Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London approaches. For his part, head coach Nathaniel Hackett noted Thursday that the quarterback "had a good day of practice" Thursday, while adding that Wilson "looks good" but still is being viewed as "day-to-day." Barring any setbacks, Wilson looks to be trending toward starting for the Broncos this weekend, though he'll presumably need to practice fully…read more

Trending in right direction

Wilson (hamstring) said Wednesday that he is "ready to roll" as Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London approaches, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Wilson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but the quarterback looks to be trending toward returning to action this weekend, barring any setbacks. Per DiLalla, head coach Nathaniel Hackett also suggested Wednesday that he expects Wilson back under center this weekend, though the veteran signal-caller will likely need to practice fully by the end of the week in order to avoid taking an injury designation into the contest.

Begins week with limited practice

Wilson (hamstring) will practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Wilson was also limited in practices Week 7, when he was ultimately inactive for the Broncos' loss to the Jets while Brett Rypien picked up the start under center. According to Troy Renck of Denver 7 News, Wilson displayed more mobility during the open portion of Wednesday's practice than he had at any point last week, so he appears to have made some progress, even if his "limited" listing represents no tangible change. Head coach Nathaniel Hackett said that Wilson is trending toward a Week 8…read more

Trending toward Week 8 return

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett revealed after Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Jets that Wilson (hamstring) is on track to play in Week 8 against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Wilson practiced on a limited basis throughout the week leading up to the Week 7 loss but was ultimately inactive. Brett Rypien threw for 225 yards and one interception in Wilson's absence. The Broncos travel to London in Week 8 to face the Jaguars, and Wilson's trending toward a return after a one-week absence. His practice participation, or lack thereof, should help determine whether he's indeed ready to return.

Could miss time beyond Week 7

Tests on Wilson's hamstring revealed a Grade 2 strain, which clouds the quarterback's status beyond the Broncos' Week 7 game against the Jets, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

Analysis: The report suggests that Wilson's partial hamstring tear can be a multiple-week injury, given the risk of additional damage. That said, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com relays that Wilson will be re-evaluated in the coming days to determine whether he has a chance to play in the Broncos' subsequent game Oct. 30 versus the Jaguars. After that, the Broncos are on bye Week 9. In his absence for at least this Sunday, Brett Rypien will draw the start against the Jets, with Josh Johnson backing him up.

Out Sunday

Wilson (hamstring) will not play in the Broncos' Week 7 matchup with the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Denver will opt to err on the side of caution with Wilson and allow him time to heal and prevent a lingering injury. As a result, Brett Rypien will ge the start against the Jets. Wilson's next chance to suit up will come in Week 8 versus the Jaguars.

Game-time call Sunday

Wilson (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, and coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that the quarterback's status could come down to a game-time decision, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: If Wilson ultimately is unable to play, Brett Rypien would step in under center against a Jets team that comes in riding a three-game winning streak. Wilson participated in some capacity in all three of Denver's practices during the week, so he has a chance to suit up despite injuring his hamstring Monday against the Chargers.

Spotted at practice Friday

Wilson (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

Analysis: Friday's injury report will detail the extent of Wilson's participation and his injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets. He was limited both Wednesday and Thursday, but Wilson's ability to take the practice field all three days this week is an encouraging sign for his upcoming availability.

Remains limited at practice

Wilson (hamstring) will remain limited at practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, coach Nathaniel Hackett indicated that Wilson did "very good" in Wednesday's practice, but at this stage the Broncos' QB plans for Sunday's game against the Jets have yet to be solidified. With that in mind, Hackett relayed to Stevens that the team is preparing Wilson, Brett Rypien and practice squad member Josh Johnson to play this weekend, with Wilson's Week 7 status TBD at this stage.

Manages limited practice

Wilson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, saying beforehand that he's feeling better each day and hopes to be ready for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: He's considered day-to-day after an MRI on Tuesday revealed no structural issues with the hamstring he hurt during Monday's overtime loss to the Chargers. If Wilson can't play this week, Brett Rypien would be in line for his second NFL start, having previously faced the Jets in Week 2 of 2020.

Deemed day-to-day after MRI

Wilson (hamstring) is considered day-to-day after an MRI on Tuesday revealed no significant issues, but his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets remains in question, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Though Wilson's day-to-day designation likely takes a long-term absence off the table, he sounds like he'll have to play through some pain if he's able to suit up in Week 7. The veteran quarterback won't have the benefit of a full week of healing time, as he faces a quicker turnaround for the matchup with the Jets after playing hurt in Monday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Chargers. For the fifth week in a row, Wilson threw for less than 300 yards, and he's completed just 55.8 percent of his…read more

Undergoes MRI on Tuesday

Wilson (hamstring) underwent an MRI on Tuesday for what could be a "fairly significant" injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson sustained the hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Chargers but played through the issue during overtime. While the star quarterback didn't appear limited during the contest, he struggled to move the ball in the second half as the Broncos offense fell flat. Per Pelissero, there's concern pending the test results, but Wilson has played through numerous injuries in his career. The MRI results and Wednesday's injury report should provide further clarity on the…read more

Picks up hamstring injury

Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said that Wilson sustained a hamstring injury during Monday's 19-16 loss to the Chargers, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson said postgame that he hurt his hamstring in the fourth quarter, but he was able to play through the issue in overtime, according to Myles Simmons of ProFootballTalk.com. The 33-year-old previously received a PRP injection in his right throwing shoulder to address a partially torn lat, which impacted him in Denver's previous two games. Wilson also was limited in practice Thursday before logging full sessions Friday and Saturday. However, Wilson added that the shoulder concern didn't…read more

Another uninspiring performance

Wilson completed 15 of 28 pass attempts for 188 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Monday's 19-16 loss to the Broncos. He added four rushes for 23 yards.

Analysis: Wilson seemed to have turned a corner early in the game, as he led the Broncos to points in each of their first two offensive possessions, highlighted by a 39-yard touchdown throw to rookie Greg Dulcich. However, things took a drastic turn for the worst in the second half when Wilson completed only three of his nine pass attempts for 15 yards. After Monday's performance, the former Seahawk has failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in all but one of his six games this season and has failed to…read more

Set for full practice Friday

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said that Wilson (shoulder) will be a full practice participant Friday, confirming the quarterback is on track to start Monday's game in Los Angeles against the Chargers, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Wilson was limited in both of the Broncos' first two workouts of the week, one of which was unofficial since Denver didn't need to submit its first Week 6 practice report until Thursday due to the Monday night game. According to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com, Wilson's reps were capped to begin the week to afford him more recovery time from an injury to his latissimus dorsi near his right shoulder, which he initially sustained Week 4 in the Broncos' Oct. 1 loss to the Raiders. Wilson received a…read more

Limited in first Week 6 practice

Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wilson (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Wilson was limited in each of the Broncos' practices during Week 5, but he ultimately suited up in Denver's 12-9 overtime loss to Indianapolis on Thursday, completing just 21 of 39 attempts for two interceptions while carrying four times for 22 yards. Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported over the weekend that Wilson flew to Los Angeles last Friday to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection to address a right shoulder injury, which Adam Schefter of ESPN more specifically…read more

Should be OK for Week 6

Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday that Wilson (shoulder) "should be ready to play" Monday at the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: In the wake of the Broncos' Week 5 loss to the Colts, Wilson received a PRP injection in his right throwing shoulder to relieve what has been termed a partially torn lat, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Wilson initially suffered the injury Week 4 against the Raiders, but he's yet to take off an offensive play through five games this season. With a Monday night AFC West matchup on tap, Denver isn't required to post a practice report until Thursday, at which point his activity level on the…read more

Dealing with tear in shoulder

Wilson has played the last two games with a partially torn lat near his right shoulder, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Wilson received a PRP injection in his shoulder to relieve discomfort, but the quarterback isn't expected to need surgery. Per Schefter, Wilson picked up the issue during the team's Week 4 loss to the Raiders, played through the discomfort in Thursday's matchup against the Colts, and plans to do so again against the Chargers in Week 6. While the veteran signal caller was solid in Week 4, he completed just 54 percent of his passes and threw two interceptions…read more

Managing shoulder discomfort

Wilson underwent a procedure Friday to relieve discomfort in his throwing shoulder, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson received a PRP injection in his shoulder to help relieve the discomfort, an injury that Pelissero suggests is more common among MLB players. The veteran is expected to play through the issue -- at least ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Chargers -- but it's possible the injury could force Wilson to miss time down the road if it persists. The 33-year-old is coming off a mistake-plagued primetime matchup against the Colts, where he completed just 21 of his 39 passes and threw two…read more

Comes up short in Week 5 loss

Wilson completed 21 of 39 passes for 274 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding four rushes for 22 yards in the Broncos' 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered and was evaluated for a head injury following his first interception before returning without missing an offensive play, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com.

Analysis: Wilson's final line will show he compiled his second-highest passing yardage total of the season, but the Broncos' inability to score a single touchdown more accurately encapsulates the quality of his performance. After leading Denver to two field goals in the first four possessions, Wilson could only helm one other scoring drive. Additionally, both his interceptions came at particularly costly moments, the first at the Colts' four-yard line early in the fourth quarter and the second coming in…read more

Cleared to play Thursday

Wilson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Colts.

Analysis: The Broncos listed the quarterback as a limited participant in practices this week, but Wilson's right shoulder issue won't prevent him from starting Thursday's contest. While Denver's offense took a hit in Week 4 when running back Javonte Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury, Melvin Gordon provides the team with an experienced lead back to handle rushing duties in the weeks ahead, with Mike Boone and Latavius Murray also on hand in the backfield. Meanwhile, none of Wilson's top…read more

Remains limited Tuesday

Wilson (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: For the second day in a row, "Mr. Unlimited" found himself on the Week 5 injury report as a limited participant, though this time the Broncos actually got on the field for a walk-through session after Monday's practice was merely an estimated one. Wilson is tending to some soreness in his throwing shoulder in the aftermath of Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but head coach Nathaniel Hackett said he doesn't believe the quarterback is in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Colts, per Aric…read more

Limited on practice estimate

Coach Nathaniel Hackett relayed that Wilson (right shoulder) would have been limited Monday, if the Broncos had practiced, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Per Hackett, Wilson "got dinged up a little bit" during Sunday's loss to the Raiders, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network indicating that the QB is dealing with some shoulder soreness. Either way, Hackett told DiLalla that he expects Wilson to play Thursday night against the Colts.

Creates three TDs in Sunday's loss

Wilson completed 17 of 25 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders. He added 29 rushing yards and a TD on four carries.

Analysis: He was pretty much the whole show for the Broncos, as Wilson led the club in rushing yards and none of his receivers managed more than 55. The performance was still a step forward for the quarterback, who tossed multiple TDs for the first time with Denver as he hit Courtland Sutton for a five-yard score in the first quarter and Jerry Jeudy for a 20-yard strike just before halftime. Wilson will look to build on this effort in Week 5 against the Colts.

Clutch finish to ugly game

Wilson completed 20 of 33 pass attempts for 184 yards and no touchdowns while adding 17 yards on six carries in Sunday's 11-10 win over the 49ers.

Analysis: Wilson struggled against San Francisco's fierce pass rush all night, even hearing a chorus of boos from the home crowd following multiple consecutive three-and-out drives. The veteran QB seems to be trying a game-manager role with his new club, and the results have not been pretty through three games. It wasn't until Denver's final drive of the game that Wilson took it upon himself to use his legs to escape pressure like he did in his prime in Seattle and will his team to victory. Perhaps the…read more

Underwhelming performance in win

Wilson completed 14 of 31 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding two rushes for three yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Texans.

Analysis: Coming off a loss to his former team in Week 1, many expected Wilson and the Broncos to have a huge resurgence against the Texans on Sunday. Unfortunately, that wasn't in the cards, as the offense is still trying to find its footing under the tutelage of head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Wilson focused on Courtland Sutton throughout the contest, targeting the wideout a team-high 11 times. Jerry Jeudy exited the game with a rib injury, complicating matters for the veteran signal-caller with KJ…read more

Takes loss in Denver debut

Wilson completed 29 of 42 passes for 340 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for two yards in Monday's 17-16 loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis: Wilson's first three passes of the game all went to fullback/tight end Andrew Beck, and he completed two of them for 52 yards to set up a field goal on Seattle's first drive. His first throw to a wide receiver didn't come until there were less than six minutes left in the second quarter, but he made up for a lack of quantity with quality, as that pass was a 67-yard touchdown to Jerry Jeudy. Denver had no trouble moving the ball but two fumbles by running backs inside the five-yard line and poor…read more

Agrees to five-year extension

Wilson and the Broncos agreed to terms Thursday on a five-year, $245 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Wilson's extension includes $165 million in guarantees and makes him the highest-played player in Denver's franchise history before taking a regular-season snap with the team. As noted by Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, Wilson's $42.9 million per season salary links him to the Broncos for the next seven years and makes him the seventh highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. The timing of the deal provides both sides with the stability of a long-term commitment leading up to Week 1 of the 2022…read more

Won't play in preseason games

Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Outten said Wilson won't play in any preseason games ahead of his Week 1 matchup with the Seahawks, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson starts his tenure in Denver with a visit to his old home, facing the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. It remains to be seen if Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy can approximate what Wilson had in Seattle with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, but the Broncos are stronger than the Seahawks at most positions, with no gap wider than the one at quarterback. The 33-year-old Wilson competed at least 64.8 percent of his passes for 7.5 YPA or better in each of his final four seasons with Seattle,…read more

Not suiting up Saturday

Wilson isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports

Analysis: Wilson's first game action as a Bronco will have to wait until Saturday, Aug. 20 in Buffalo, at the earliest. In Wilson's stead, Josh Johnson will direct Denver's offense first, with Brett Rypien taking the field at some point after him.

May not play Saturday

Wilson won't play much, if at all, in Saturday's preseason game against Dallas, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Wilson might get a few more snaps than other top QBs this preseason, considering he and coach Nathaniel Hackett both are new to Denver. Still, it probably won't amount to much more than a few series, and perhaps in the second/third week of the preseason rather than Saturday.

Continues to impress

Wilson continues to prove himself as a leader and a clear upgrade at the quarterback position, having his best practice of training camp Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: In an end-of-game scenario in practice Thursday, Wilson reminded the Broncos why they made the blockbuster move to acquire the veteran quarterback this offseason. After multiple touchdown drives throughout the practice, Wilson was the one who decided the final plays in crunch time to lead the offense to a win. When discussing play calling in those types of situations, coach Nathaniel Hackett said, "I'm always kind of in his ear, but it's his choice, whatever he's feeling." It's not surprising…read more

Trade to Denver official

The Broncos acquired Wilson from the Seahawks on Wednesday, after the trade the two teams agreed upon last week became official.

Analysis: In one of the landmark transactions of the offseason, Denver finally landed its first big-name quarterback since Peyton Manning retired after winning Super Bowl 50. Wilson will have a bevy of pass catchers at his disposal, moat notably wide receivers Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and running back Javonte Williams. Wilson is coming off a subpar season by his standards, as he missed the first games (three) of his career due to injury and the playoffs…read more

Trade moves toward completion

In the wake of the agreed upon deal that is slated to send Wilson from Seattle to Denver, the quarterback waived his no-trade clause and passed his physical with the Broncos on Tuesday night, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: As a result, Tuesday's blockbuster trade in which the Broncos are in line to send QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant, DL Shelby Harris, two first-round draft picks, two second-round picks and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks in exchange for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-rounder, continues to move toward becoming official once the league's new league year begins March 16. The looming arrival of Wilson, who turns 34 in November, provides his new franchise with the signal-caller stability it has…read more

Trade to Denver in place

A deal is in place to send Wilson and a fourth-round draft pick from the Seahawks to the Broncos in exchange for quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Per Schefter, the blockbuster hinges on Wilson waiving his no-trade clause, an expected outcome. Additionally, the looming transaction can't be finalized until the new league year begins March 16. Adding Wilson to the mix will provide the Broncos offense with a huge lift and significantly bolsters the nucleus of an attack that also includes running back Javonte Williams as well as wideouts Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler.

Reportedly on the move

The Seahawks have reportedly agreed to terms on a deal to send Wilson to the Broncos, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Analysis: The report notes that such an outcome is pending a physical and Wilson's approval. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the looming blockbuster transaction is expected to include multiple first-round draft picks as well as additional draft choices and players.

Wants to explore options

Wilson hasn't demanded a trade from the Seahawks, but sources close to the quarterback indicate that he wants to explore other possible options to see if another team can put him in a better position to win another championship, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Though Wilson said in one of his final press conferences of the season that he hopes to remain with Seattle in 2022, the quarterback sounds as though he's open to the possibility of being dealt if he can go to a team that has a more promising outlook than the Seahawks, who are coming off a 7-10 season. With that in mind, Wilson looks like he'll be following a script similar to last offseason, when he never formally requested a trade yet still had his agent provide the Seahawks' front office…read more

Still wanted by Seattle

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday he expects Wilson to remain the Seahawks' starting quarterback in the 2022 campaign, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Carroll responded, "[Wilson's] our quarterback," when asked about the standout veteran's future in Seattle. Of course, the Seahawks will have ample time to mull over any personnel decisions during the upcoming offseason, and there's plenty of precedence that says coach's comments in early January shouldn't exactly be considered a guarantee. A serious finger injury caused Wilson to miss three contests during the 2021 campaign, and upon returning he logged a seven-game slump with only an 8:4…read more

Produced four touchdowns

Wilson completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 238 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while running for five yards and one touchdown against Arizona on Sunday.

Analysis: It was a classic Russell Wilson box score: scoring often, including as a dual threat, while dealing with low-usage volume. To produce four touchdowns on 30 snaps isn't a common feat for most players, but with Wilson it's an old story by now. It's not clear whether that story will continue in Seattle, nor whether Seattle will keep the same coaching staff if Wilson does return. The veteran quarterback's situation is one to monitor in the offseason.

Throws four touchdowns

Wilson completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 236 yards and four touchdowns while running for 24 yards on six carries against Detroit on Sunday.

Analysis: The Detroit defense is one of the weakest in the league, and this game proved to be a good setting for Wilson to reestablish some rapport with DK Metcalf (six catches for 63 yards and three touchdowns on nine targets). Wilson will need Metcalf to keep producing alongside Tyler Lockett (three catches for 24 yards and one touchdown on three targets Sunday) if the Seahawks offense is to maintain its momentum against a tough Arizona defense in Week 18.

Tosses two TDs in loss

Wilson completed 16 of 27 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears. He added 13 yards on two carries.

Analysis: On a snowy day in Seattle, Wilson mostly took a back seat to Rashaad Penny, but he was able to cap a couple drives with TD passes to DK Metcalf and Gerald Everett, the latter of which gave the Seahawks a 24-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter. However, the defense couldn't make it hold up. Wilson has thrown multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games, but with Seattle now officially eliminated from postseason contention, he has little to play for but personal milestones heading into…read more

Poor showing in defeat

Wilson completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 156 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: Wilson had been looking like his pre-injury self over the last few weeks, averaging 246 passing yards and two touchdowns over his last three games after rushing back too quickly from a broken finger. The 32-year-old reverted to his poor passing form against a tough Rams defense, as evidenced by his third sub-60 percent completion rate game this season with zero total touchdowns in those contests Fantasy managers should probably throw this performance out the window when evaluating Wilson for…read more

Seahawks-Rams moved to Tuesday

Wilson and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. After Tuesday's game, the Seahawks will face a quick turnaround for Week 16 with a Sunday matchup versus the Bears on Dec. 26.

Seahawks-Rams moved to Tuesday

Wilson and the Seahawks aren't in line to play the Rams on Sunday, with the NFL expected to reschedule the game for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET, pending official confirmation, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. After Tuesday's game, the Seahawks will face a quick turnaround for Week 16 with a Sunday matchup versus the Bears on Dec. 26.

Tosses two scores in win

Wilson completed 17 of 28 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also ran twice for eight yards.

Analysis: Wilson put together his best game since returning from finger surgery in Week 10, tossing a 55-yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett and a one-yard score to Gerald Everett. We haven't seen many deep shots from Wilson since his injury, so his connection with Lockett demonstrated that the 33-year-old quarterback is as close to 100 percent as he can get. Nevertheless, he'll have a tough matchup against the Rams -- which are fourth in the league with 32 sacks entering their Week 14 Monday night matchup…read more

Sharp in Sunday's win

Wilson completed 30 of 37 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

Analysis: For the first time in four games since returning from finger surgery, Wilson looked more like himself, and his line would have been even better had Gerald Everett not bobbled a pass at the goal line, turning a sure TD into an INT on Seattle's first drive of the second half. The Seahawks are all but out of the NFC playoff picture at 4-8, but Wilson will likely go down slinging, beginning with a Week 14 tilt against the Texans.

Comeback falls short

Wilson completed 20 of 31 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 17-15 loss to Washington. He also rushed twice for 16 yards.

Analysis: Wilson and Seattle's offense once again struggled to move the ball and produce points. In fact, he led the team in rushing and 94 of his passing yards came on two plays to Tyler Lockett. Besides that, his two leaders in receptions, Gerald Everett and DeeJay Dallas, totaled 64 yards on their 10 combined grabs. Meanwhile, star wideout DK Metcalf's lone, 13-yard catch didn't come until there was just over a minute left. Although Wilson salvaged some value with a touchdown to Everett early and…read more

Struggles continue

Wilson completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 207 yards against Arizona on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson was arguably better than he was against Green Bay in Week 10, but other than a few big throws to Tyler Lockett there just wasn't anything good going on for the Seattle passing game Sunday. The Arizona defense may well go down as one of the best in the NFL this year, so Wilson has that excuse at least, but it still seems like he's not fully himself as he works his way back from his finger injury, which he returned from last week. His Week 12 matchup at Washington is a favorable one, so…read more

Major struggles in return

Wilson (finger) completed 20 of 40 pass attempts for 161 yards and two interceptions and scrambled five times for 32 yards Sunday in the Seahawks' 17-0 loss to the Packers.

Analysis: Back after a three-game absence, Wilson was almost certainly limited by the surgically repaired middle finger on his throwing hand, as his return occurred more quickly than the initial injury prognosis considered possible. When fully healthy, Wilson is certainly capable of delivering a better performance, especially against a Green Bay secondary without its best corner in Jaire Alexander (shoulder). Wilson missed throws he usually doesn't, and almost every rep was ugly in some way or another.…read more

Activated from IR

Wilson (finger) was activated from injured reserve Friday evening, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: The team didn't bother waiting until Saturday, with coach Pete Carroll having already named Wilson as the starter for Sunday's game in Green Bay. Rookie WR Dee Eskridge (concussion) also is coming off IR for the Week 10 game, while RB Chris Carson (IR/neck) has been ruled out again.

Confirmed as Sunday's starter

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed Wilson (finger) will start Sunday's game against the Packers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: It's not a surprise given Wilson was labeled a "full" practice participant earlier this week, but it's a good sign to hear confirmation from Carroll regardless. The veteran signal-caller still needs to be officially activated from injured reserve, but the team can make that roster move at any point ahead of Saturday afternoon's roster deadline (4:00 p.m. ET).

Practices without limitations

Head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson (finger) would be considered a full practice participant Wednesday if the Seahawks had to list him on their injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The team doesn't have to list Wilson on the injury report this week because he remains on injured reserve, with his 21-day evaluation window having opened Monday. Regardless, Wilson is gearing up for the start in Sunday's game in Green Bay, after Carroll said earlier this week that the signal-caller will be activated from IR if medically cleared. Wilson's activity level Wednesday suggests the quarterback has made good progress since undergoing surgery on his right middle finger Oct. 7.

Gets on practice field Monday

Wilson (finger) participated in Monday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. "He threw the ball all over the place, so he did really well for the first time out in a limited amount of plays," coach Pete Carroll said.

Analysis: The Seahawks designated Wilson for return from injured reserve Monday, and because they're coming off a Week 9 bye, he and his teammates were allowed to hold practice. He's attempting to make a return on the front end of his 4-8-week timeline after Oct. 7 surgery to repair a fracture-dislocation and extensor tendon rupture, and one week removed from having the pin removed from his right middle finger he was back on the field, albeit in a "limited" capacity. Carroll also noted the team intends…read more

Officially cleared to practice

Seattle designated Wilson (finger) for return from injured reserve Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: The team released a statement earlier Monday from Wilson's surgeon, Dr. Steven Shin, who wrote that he has cleared the quarterback for a "full return to play without reservation," given the tremendous progress he's made since undergoing surgery Oct. 7 to repair a fracture-dislocation and extensor tendon rupture of his right middle finger. The Seahawks likely will wait until later in the week to officially activate Wilson after getting a chance to observe him in practice, but the 32-year-old…read more

Cleared to return vs. Packers

Wilson (finger) has received medical clearance to return to action Week 10 versus the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Wilson hasn't played since Week 5 due to a ruptured tendon in his right finger, for which he was forced to undergo surgery, but the stage appears set for him to retake the field for Sunday's road matchup in Green Bay. However, the Seahawks haven't yet officially activated the star quarterback from IR. During Seattle's bye, Wilson had the pin in his finger removed and resumed throwing. Meanwhile, the Packers also could have Aaron Rodgers (illness) back from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Throwing again after pin removal

Wilson was spotted throwing a football Tuesday, one day after having the pin removed from his injured right middle finger, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Wilson likely isn't yet throwing at full velocity, but his ability to toss the pigskin at all a day following the pin removal suggests he's progressing faster than expected after initially undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in the finger Oct. 8. The Seahawks are on bye this week, but assuming Wilson gradually increases the intensity of his workouts while experiencing no renewed discomfort while throwing, he should be on track to put an end to his three-game absence Nov. 14 at Green…read more

Getting pins removed soon

Wilson is expected to have the pins removed from his surgically repaired right middle finger early this week, and the signal-caller continues to target the Seahawks' Week 10 game in Green Bay on Nov. 14 for a return to action, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: When he initially underwent the procedure Oct. 8, Wilson was projected to miss anywhere from 4-to-8 weeks, but the quarterback looks to be honing in on a return at the short end of that timeline. Wilson is said to be progressing well after having the stitches removed from his finger this past week, and he'll take another step forward in the recovery process if the pins are in fact removed in the coming days. Geno Smith will draw a third straight start in Wilson's stead Sunday against the…read more

Nearing pin removal

Wilson (finger) is expected to have the pin removed from his middle finger within the next week, Mike Garafolo of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson initially carried a recovery timetable of 4-to-8 weeks after he underwent surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his middle finger. However, the 32-year-old has a chance to return from injured reserve as early as Week 10, when Seattle plays the Packers on Nov. 14. Geno Smith should continue to serve as the Seahawks' starting quarterback while Wilson is sidelined.

Progressing, but timeline unclear

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson (finger) is "definitely making progress" since undergoing surgery Oct. 8, but Carroll declined to offer up a timeline for the quarterback's return from injured reserve, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Seattle is unlikely to provide any clear updates on when Wilson might be ready to play until the team is on bye in Week 9. The quarterback won't be eligible to practice until after he sits out a third consecutive game Oct. 31 against the Jaguars. If Wilson is able to practice during the bye week or during Week 10 prep, he could get the green light to play as soon as Nov. 14 in Green Bay. Initial estimates on Wilson's recovery timeline when he underwent the surgery ranged from 4-to-8 weeks, so…read more

Officially on IR

Wilson (finger) was placed on injured reserve Friday, ruling him out through Week 9, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson will first be eligible to return Nov. 14 against the Packers, at which point he'll be a little more than five weeks removed from surgery. Some reports suggested he could be out for as little as four weeks, while others put the timeline around 6-to-8 weeks. Either way, the Seahawks plan to start Geno Smith at quarterback for at least three games. Jake Luton, the team's No. 3 QB, presumably will be called up from the practice squad before Sunday.

Headed for IR soon

Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Wilson (finger) will be placed on injured reserve soon, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Once it becomes official, Wilson won't be eligible to play again until Nov. 14 against the Packers (Week 10). Even that appears optimistic, with most reports suggesting he'll miss at least four weeks and possibly up to eight. While Wilson recovers from Oct. 8 surgery, Geno Smith will serve as Seattle's starting quarterback.

Headed for IR soon

Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Wilson (finger) will be placed on injured reserve soon, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Once it becomes official, Wilson won't be eligible to play again until Nov. 14 against the Packers (Week 10). Even that appears optimistic, with most reports suggests he'll miss at least four weeks and possibly up to eight. While Wilson recovers from Oct. 8 surgery, Geno Smith will serve as Seattle's starting QB.

No timetable to return

Wilson has no timeline for a return following surgery Friday on a ruptured tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Previous reports on Wilson's recovery timetable have wavered from as few as four weeks to as many as eight. An IR stint thus would seem to be in the offing, but coach Pete Carroll said during a media session Monday, "We'll see," when asked if such a transaction would take place. In any case, the Seahawks have a Week 9 bye, so if Wilson is able to make quick progress there seems to be potential for him to return Week 10 at Green Bay. While Wilson is in recovery mode, Seattle will turn to Geno…read more

Could be back in four weeks

The Seahawks and Wilson's doctors have optimism that the quarterback could be ready to play in four weeks in a best-case scenario after he underwent surgery Friday to repair a fractured right middle finger, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Before Wilson checked in for surgery Friday, multiple doctors familiar with his injury believed that the signal-caller could be headed for a 6-to-8-week absence. After the surgery was completed, however, Wilson's outlook appears to have brightened a bit, with a four-week absence now seen as realistic. If that's the case, Wilson could be ready to play as soon as the Seahawks' Week 10 game at Green Bay, but his absence for at least the next three contests will snap his streak of 149 consecutive…read more

Gets surgery, out several weeks

Wilson underwent surgery Friday to repair a ruptured tendon of his right middle finger and is expected to require roughly six weeks of recovery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson opted for surgery less than 24 hours after sustaining the injury in Thursday's loss to the Rams, and the procedure was more complicated than expected, according to Rapoport. The surgery was overseen by Dr. Steven Shin and involved the insertion of screws in Wilson's hand to stabilize the injured finger. The estimated six-week timeline could change as more information becomes available, and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relays that the Seahawks may be eyeing a looser 4-to-8-week timetable for…read more

Likely out at least a month

The Seahawks are preparing for Wilson (finger) to miss at least one month and possibly 6-to-8 weeks, as the ruptured tendon in his middle finger likely will require surgery, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: While X-rays came back negative after his exit from Thursday's loss to the Rams, the 32-year-old quarterback was diagnosed with tendon damage to his right middle finger, creating concern that he'll need surgery and require a long-term absence. That hasn't been confirmed, but the Seahawks and Wilson already seem to be leaning in that direction less than 24 hours after he suffered the injury. Geno Smith is expected to take over as Seattle's starting quarterback.

X-rays negative, heading for MRI

Wilson will undergo an MRI on Friday after initial X-rays on the sprained right middle finger he suffered in Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams returned negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: There's concern Wilson is dealing with tendon damage, a condition also known as mallet finger, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. According to Bell, a tendon injury would typically require a splint that "must be worn day and night for 6-to-8 weeks," and could also necessitate surgery. Wilson is set to visit a hand specialist following the MRI, at which point there should be a better idea of his outlook moving forward. For now, the 32-year-old's status for Week 6 and beyond remains…read more

Dealing with finger sprain

Head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson is dealing with a "badly sprained finger" after the quarterback exited Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams with the injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Wilson departed early in the fourth quarter after his right middle finger struck a defensive player's helmet while he was following through on a throw. He briefly played through the injury but ultimately had to be replaced by Geno Smith after being unable to grip the ball properly. Carroll declined to give a timeline on Wilson's potential return, though the Seahawks will at least have a long turnaround for their next game, which is set for Oct. 17 in Pittsburgh.

Solid numbers before injury exit

Wilson (finger) completed 11 of 16 passes for 152 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Seahawks' 26-17 loss to the Rams on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for 10 yards before exiting the game for good with 3:36 remaining in the third quarter due to what Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports is being labeled as a "badly sprained finger."

Analysis: Wilson was actually in the midst of a reasonably efficient performance against a defense that has bedeviled him in recent encounters before suffering the gruesome-looking injury on the helmet of a pass rusher. The multi-time Pro Bowler spent the fourth quarter on the sidelines trying to grip a football and watching backup Geno Smith put together a couple of productive drives before a late game-sealing interception. Bell relays that head coach Pete Carroll called Wilson "an all-time healer" in…read more

Questionable to return

Wilson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams with a finger injury, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Analysis: Wilson injured his hand after hitting the helmet of a defensive player following through on a throw in the third quarter. He attempted to play through the issue with his finger wrapped, but he was not able to effectively lead the offense doing so. Geno Smith has taken over as the Seahawks' quarterback.

Three scores but meager yardage

Wilson completed 16-of-23 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns against San Francisco on Sunday, adding four carries for 26 yards and one touchdown.

Analysis: The three touchdowns were a useful reminder that Wilson doesn't need much usage volume to find the end zone regularly, but the Seattle offense sputtered at times Sunday and Wilson's usage remained low for the fourth game in a row. Wilson's efficiency and explosiveness are as high as ever through one month, but the Seahawks are not running many plays, and as a result Wilson is averaging just 27.3 pass attempts and 3.8 carries per game through four weeks. The Seahawks offense will look to pick up…read more

Comes up short in Sunday's loss

Wilson completed 23 of 32 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings. He also carried the ball three times for seven yards.

Analysis: While Wilson once again was efficient and nearly posted his second 300-yard performance in a row, he only got the ball into the end zone once and didn't get enough support from the rest of the Seattle roster. He still has yet to throw an INT this year with a dazzling 73.3 percent completion rate and seven TDs through three games, but the Seahawks have only a 1-2 record to show for it. Wilson faces another tough test Week 4 on the road against the 49ers.

Goes for 343 yards, two TDs

Wilson racked up 343 yards and two touchdowns on 22-for-31 passing and recorded 16 more yards on three carries during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Titans.

Analysis: Wilson backed up his 254-yard, four-touchdown performance from the season opener by stuffing the stat sheet Week 2. However, more than half of his yardage through the air came on three plays -- he had two TDs of 60-plus yards and another 51-yard completion to Tyler Lockett -- and the Titans offense ground and pounded on the back of Derrick Henry in the second half, leading to just six points for the Seahawks between the third and fourth quarters. Wilson will aim to get back to winning ways next…read more

Four scores to kick things off

Wilson completed 18 of 23 pass attempts for 254 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.

Analysis: Wilson didn't do much on the ground (five carries for nine yards), but he didn't need to after dissecting the Colts' secondary from the pocket. The 32-year-old replicated his four-score performance from Week 1 of the 2020 season, and his fantasy managers are hoping the superstar quarterback can also replicate the 10 touchdowns he rattled off over the following two weeks as well. Indianapolis is no slouch on defense, so Wilson's matchup against a young Tennessee Titans defense next Sunday…read more

Doesn't play Saturday

Wilson didn't play in the Seahawks' final preseason game Saturday against the Chargers.

Analysis: Wilson was expected to play about a quarter, but head coach Pete Carroll opted to keep the team's most valuable player on the sidelines for the final exhibition matchup. Even without Wilson on the field, we saw a glimpse of new OC Shane Waldron's system, according to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune. Waldron frequently utilized two tight-end sets, and he even got fullback Nick Bellore involved. Of course, we shouldn't draw too many conclusions from a preseason game. After all, no scheme is going…read more

Should play a little Saturday

Wilson could play about a quarter in Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: RB Chris Carson and a few others likely will be held out, but Wilson is expected to get a little playing time to tune up for his Week 1 road matchup with the Colts. The Seahawks brought back the same nucleus of offensive players, albeit with a few tweaks, hoping new OC Shane Waldron can help Wilson bounce back from a disappointing second half of 2020.

Likely sitting against Broncos

Wilson is not likely to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: GM John Schneider appeared on the pregame radio show and spoke of the great opportunity that backup quarterbacks Alex McGough and Sean Mannion would have in Saturday's contest. That presumably means Wilson will remain sidelined, as he also didn't appear in the team's first preseason contest against the Raiders.

Gets more pass catchers

The Seahawks added wide receiver D'Wayne Eskridge in the draft and tight end Gerald Everett via free agency to help bolster Wilson's pass-catching options, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Wilson has passed the disgruntled quarterback baton to Aaron Rodgers, as coach Pete Carroll confirmed last week that the Seahawks are on good terms with Wilson and won't trade the quarterback. The Seahawks have made solid upgrades on offense this offseason all the same, as they traded for right guard Gabe Jackson to help bolster the offensive line, then signed Everett to a one-year, $6 million deal before selecting Eskridge in the second round of the draft. Even with the plethora of weapons at…read more

Willing to waive no-trade clause

Wilson told the Seahawks he wants to stay in Seattle, but he also said he'd be willing to play for the Cowboys, Saints, Raiders or Bears if a trade were considered, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Wilson has surpassed Deshaun Watson and Carson Wentz as king of the February rumor mill, with multiple reports suggesting the 32-year-old QB is contemplating an NFL future after Seattle. According to The Athletic, Wilson is frustrated with coach Pete Carroll's emphasis on the running game and wishes the Seahawks had made their pass-blocking more of a priority. He may not be ready to request a trade, but there's no doubt he's making a statement in going public (albeit indirectly) with his…read more

Struggles in loss to Rams

Wilson completed 11 of 27 passes for 174 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams. He also ran four times for 50 yards.

Analysis: The Seahawks showed increased dysfunction toward the end of the season and specifically against the Rams. This was another prime example, and it was perhaps Wilson's worst game of the season. The 32-year-old quarterback threw a costly pick-six to Darious Williams in the second quarter, completed just 41 percent of his passes, and was sacked five times. Garbage time provided a slight boost to an otherwise putrid stat line, as he added 49 passing yards and a score in addition to 28 rushing yards…read more

Clutch in crunch time

Wilson completed 20 of 36 pass attempts for 181 yards and two touchdowns, adding 29 yards on five rushing attempts in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.

Analysis: Wilson was held in check for the first three quarters of action by a varied defense called by 49ers' defensive coordinator (and popular head coach candidate) Robert Saleh, but "Mr. Unlimited" was finally able to break through with 20 points in the fourth quarter to lead his team to victory. The 31-year-old fell seven yards shy of the career-high 4,219 passing yards he threw back in 2016. Unlike that season, Wilson put himself firmly in the MVP conversation with a new high water mark of 40…read more

Accounts for two TDs vs. Rams

Wilson completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 225 yards and a touchdown while adding nine yards and a touchdown on three carries during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Wilson was hurried early and often by one of the NFL's top defensive units as he took five sacks and struggled to connect with his pass catchers at times. He managed to avoid turnovers, however, and contributed his second rushing touchdown of the season before throwing a TD pass to Jacob Hollister to put the game away. After a stellar start to the campaign, Wilson has been held under 250 yards in six of his last seven games and has thrown multiple touchdown passes just twice in that stretch.…read more

Throws for just 121 yards

Wilson completed 18 of 27 passes for 121 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington. He also carried six times for 52 yards.

Analysis: With a banged-up Seattle offensive line up against a fierce Washington pass rush, Wilson struggled to get much going through the air. He finished with just 4.5 yards per passing attempt -- his lowest mark of the year. However, the veteran quarterback was quite effective on the ground, ripping off a 38-yard run in the second quarter. That season-long scramble set up Seattle's first touchdown of the day, a 10-yard toss to tight end Jacob Hollister. The Seahawks let off the gas in the second half,…read more

Fires four TDs in rout of Jets

Wilson completed 21 of 27 passes for 206 yards and four touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Aside from a first-quarter pick on a bomb into the end zone intended for DK Metcalf, Wilson was unchallenged by an overwhelmed Jets secondary and found four different receivers for scores, matching his TD total from his prior four games combined. Wilson now has a career-high 36 passing touchdowns (and a career-high 12 INTs) on the season, but he'll face a tougher test in Week 15's road matchup with Washington.

Struggles in loss to Giants

Wilson completed 27 of 43 pass attempts for 263 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 13 against the Giants. He added seven carries for 45 yards.

Analysis: Wilson led a strong opening drive that led to a field goal, racking up 35 yards on six pass attempts. However, the Seahawks' offense didn't manage to put up points again until midway through the fourth quarter, when Wilson connected with Chris Carson for a 28-yard touchdown. The result was an inefficient performance, summarized by Wilson averaging only 6.1 yards per attempt. Despite the down performance, Wilson did manage to add value on the ground, surpassing 40 rushing yards for the third…read more

Throws one touchdown in win

Wilson completed 22 of 31 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-17 win over the Eagles. He also rushed six times for 12 yards.

Analysis: Wilson didn't put up gaudy numbers, but he did enough to lead the Seahawks to victory and did not turn the ball over. The quarterback's lone touchdown came on a one-yard fade pass to David Moore during the second quarter, but Wilson had another one dropped by wideout DK Metcalf in the fourth. Although his scoring pace has slowed since his sensational start, Wilson remains a strong play ahead of Week 13's matchup against the Giants.

Efficient through ground and air

Wilson completed 23 of 28 passes for 197 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 28-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. He also rushed 10 times for 42 yards and was charged with two fumbles, including one on a pitchback toss that Carlos Hyde mishandled, but both were recovered by Seattle.

Analysis: Wilson checked in under 200 passing yards for the first time all season, but he turned in a much-needed turnover-free effort devoid of some of the risky throws and questionable decisions that had characterized his play in recent contests. Wilson had thrown seven of his 10 interceptions on the campaign in three of his prior four games, but Thursday, he appeared to stick to what the defense gave him and picked his spots effectively. Two of those came on scoring strikes of 25 and 11 yards to DK…read more

Sloppy performance in loss to Rams

Wilson completed 22 of 37 passes for 248 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble and added eight carries for 60 yards.

Analysis: The veteran quarterback was never comfortable behind his offensive line, as he was quick to flee the pocket or concede the sack, taking six total sacks for a loss of 28 yards. Wilson appeared increasingly uncomfortable in the fourth quarter when the Seahawks were trying to erase a two-possession deficit, and perhaps the most glaring lapse was a delay of game penalty on third down with 7:59 remaining in regulation. At one point in the fourth quarter, second-year receiver DK Metcalf beat Jalen…read more

Roughed up by Bills

Wilson completed 28 of 41 passes for 390 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 44-34 loss to the Bills. He also ran twice for five yards and a score, and he lost two fumbles.

Analysis: The Seahawks got off to a tough start, as they went three-and-out on the first drive and Wilson tossed an interception on the next series. They started to turn it around after that, as Wilson scored on a rare QB sneak in the second quarter, and the Seahawks added a field goal on their final drive of the first half. Coming out of halftime with a 14-point deficit, the Seahawks' hopes of a quick score were squandered, as Wilson was strip-sacked just 18 seconds into the third quarter. Wilson wasn't…read more

Rips through 49ers

Wilson completed 27 of 37 pass attempts for 261 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 8 against the 49ers.

Analysis: Wilson terrorized the 49ers defense, orchestrating a touchdown in four of five drives spanning from late in the first quarter to the end of the third quarter. All told, he recorded his fourth game this season with at least four passing scores -- but his first since Week 3. Wilson threw two touchdowns to DK Metcalf, highlighted by a slant across the middle that Metcalf took to the end zone for a 46-yard score. Through seven games, Wilson has made a strong case to be in the running for MVP,…read more

Roller coaster effort in OT loss

Wilson completed 33 of 50 passes for 388 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Cardinals. He also rushed six times for 84 yards.

Analysis: Coming off a bye week, Wilson revved up the Seahawks' offense quickly, completing his first five passes of the night for 65 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Lockett. He led two more drives that ended in field goals before marching into the red zone again only to toss an interception at the goal line to Budda Baker, who would have returned the pick for a score if not for a remarkable run-down effort by DK Metcalf. The rest of Wilson's night was up and down. The veteran signal-caller tossed two…read more

Adds three more scores in win

Wilson completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 217 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while adding 58 rushing yards on five attempts in Sunday's comeback victory over the Vikings.

Analysis: Wilson started the night a perfect 15-of-15 on pass attempts, and while he did have an uncharacteristic inaccurate interception in the second half, the magician was able to pull out another late comeback victory to keep Seattle undefeated. The early MVP talks surrounding the 31-year-old are well warranted given his pocket mobility, incredible accuracy at all three levels (72.7 completion percentage) and his knack to carry his team to victory in clutch moments. Wilson is a top-five fantasy…read more

Ties NFL record in win

Wilson completed 24 of 34 passes for 360 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 31-23 road win over the Dolphins. He also rushed four times for five yards.

Analysis: Wilson seemed a bit off at times Sunday, and he tossed a rare interception in the end zone. Still, he was quite effective overall, recording a season-high 10.6 yards per attempt while throwing a pair of touchdowns to Travis Homer and David Moore. With 16 touchdowns on the season, Wilson ties Peyton Manning for the most passing scores thrown through the first four games of a season. The MVP campaign is alive and well for the 31-year-old signal caller, and he'll look to pick apart a brutal…read more

Makes history in shootout win

Wilson completed 27 of 40 passes for 315 yards and five touchdowns during Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys. He added 22 rushing yards on six carries.

Analysis: Incredibly, he could have had a sixth TD, but DK Metcalf thought he could coast into the end zone on a 62-yard catch-and-run and had the ball knocked out of his hands from behind, resulting in a touchback. Wilson is now the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least four touchdowns in each of the first three games of a season, and his 14 passing TDs during that stretch also breaks the NFL record of 13 set by Patrick Mahomes two years ago. Wilson will head to Miami in Week 4 to take…read more

Fires off five touchdowns in win

Wilson completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 288 yards, five touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 35-30 win over New England. He added 39 rushing yards on five carries.

Analysis: Wilson was incredible once again, keeping his club one step ahead of the Patriots' comeback attempts. The dual-threat quarterback completed touchdown passes to five different receivers in this one, bringing his season total up to nine through two contests. Wilson could be involved in yet another shootout next week against a Dallas squad that can put up points but has trouble preventing them.

Remarkable in win over Falcons

Wilson completed 31 of 35 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.

Analysis: With potentially the best set of pass catchers in his career, Wilson was given a prime opportunity to showcase his talents Sunday as head coach Pete Carroll called just 17 run plays. The star quarterback came out of the gate hot, tossing two touchdowns to Chris Carson before he threw his first incompletion, and he added a 28-yard carry in the first half that put him over 4,000 rushing yards in his career. His efficiency ranked supreme, as he completed 88.6 percent of his passes -- the…read more

Sees big things ahead

Wilson believes he's just now entering the prime of his career, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.

Analysis: The 31-year-old may be slightly past his physical prime, but it would hardly be an oddity for an NFL quarterback to enjoy his best seasons in his early-to-mid 30s. Wilson also happens to have the best receiving corps of his career, with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf forming a formidable duo at wide receiver while Greg Olsen and Will Dissly (Achilles) figure to get most of the targets at tight end. Seahawks OC Brian Schottenheimer has taken a lot of heat for his run-heavy approach, but he did…read more

Comeback falls short in Green Bay

Wilson completed 21 of 31 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown while adding 64 rushing yards on seven carries in Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round loss to the Packers.

Analysis: Wilson came up just short of digging his team out of a 21-3 halftime hole, tossing a seven-yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett in the process. This loss puts an end to an excellent campaign from Wilson, who finished with 4,110 passing yards and a 31:5 TD:INT in the regular season before knocking off the Eagles in the wild-card round. Coming off three consecutive seasons with 30-plus touchdown passes and still a threat to add meaningful contributions with his legs any given Sunday, Wilson should be…read more

Throws for 325 yards, advances

Wilson completed 18 of 30 passes for 325 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card playoff win over the Eagles. He also ran eight times for 46 yards.

Analysis: Wilson produced his best passing yardage since Week 9 versus the Buccaneers, and he also led the Seahawks in rushing. The veteran signal-caller connected with DK Metcalf on seven passes for 160 yards and a touchdown, including a 36-yard toss to ice the game. Wilson and the Seahawks will travel to Green Bay for the divisional round next Sunday.

Comeback bid falls short

Wilson completed 25 of 40 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers. He also ran eight times for 29 yards.

Analysis: Wilson's first three quarters were uninspiring, but he turned it up in the fourth quarter, completing 14 of 23 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. The Seahawks were inches from scoring with less than a minute left as the veteran signal caller completed a fourth-down pass to rookie John Ursua that was stopped just short of the goal line. Due to substitution issues following the catch, they took a costly delay of game penalty, pushing them back five yards. On Wilson's last opportunity to clinch…read more

Sets Seattle mark for passing yards

Wilson completed 16 of 31 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Considering the Cardinals entered the contest with the worst-ranked pass defense in the league, it was an uncharacteristically underwhelming performance for Wilson that likely cost some fantasy managers championships. Despite targeting Tyler Lockett eight times, the two connected just once for 12 yards, and Wilson didn't complete more than one pass to any other wide receiver. However, Wilson walks away from this game with his name etched in Seahawks' history, passing Matt Hasselback and…read more

Back on track with win

Wilson completed 20 of 26 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

Analysis: After throwing an interception in four straight games and rounding out at 7.3 yards per attempt in that stretch, Wilson produced a clean performance against the Panthers, registering 11.0 YPA and completing 76.9 percent of his passes -- his highest marks since Week 5. Wilson rediscovered his chemistry with Tyler Lockett as well, connecting with the wideout eight times for 120 yards and a score, and he spread the ball out to seven other receivers. Fantasy owners should feel comfortable about…read more

Throws for 245 scoreless yards

Wilson completed 22 of 36 passes for 245 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams. He also ran five times for 28 yards.

Analysis: The Seahawks were quickly jettisoned from their typical run-heavy scheme after going down 14-3 early in the second quarter, and they couldn't get their passing game going. Wilson fell victim to the Rams' fierce pass rush with five sacks, and his receivers dropped a few costly passes, as the veteran quarterback failed to throw a touchdown for the first time since Week 14 last season. He also threw an interception in garbage time, marking his fourth straight game with a pick. Wilson and the…read more

Captures division lead with MNF win

Wilson completed 21 of 31 passes for 240 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Monday's 37-30 win over the Vikings.

Analysis: If the Seahawks hadn't pulled off the comeback, Wilson may have been haunted by a bizarre pick-six in the second quarter -- his initial pass was swatted back towards him at the line of scrimmage, but his attempt to knock the ball to the ground for an incompletion instead went straight to Vikings linebacker Erik Harris, who took it to the house. However, Wilson bounced back in MVP fashion, leading five straight scoring drives and totaling 27 points in the second half. The Seahawks have won five…read more

Struggles to beat Eagles

Wilson completed 13 of 25 passes for 200 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles. He also ran twice for 16 yards.

Analysis: Wilson's stat line would've looked much better if he connected with a wide-open Jacob Hollister in the end zone and DK Metcalf didn't drop a deep pass at the goal line. The veteran signal-caller faced heavy pressure all afternoon, as he was dropped six times for a loss of 26 yards. It took some trickery to notch his only score of the day, as he found Malik Turner on a flea flicker in the first quarter. Wilson posted a 52 percent completion rate and 8.0 YPA; both marks were his second worst of…read more

Wins second straight OT contest

Wilson completed 24 of 34 passes for 232 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Monday's 27-24 overtime win over the 49ers.

Analysis: Wilson was uncharacteristically inefficient in the first half, as he was sacked on third down twice and completed seven of 11 passes for 73 yards, although he would have added a touchdown if rookie DK Metcalf hadn't had the ball stripped at the goal line right before halftime. The QB came out firing in the third quarter, converting his next seven passing attempts for 46 yards and a touchdown to Jacob Hollister. However, with a 21-10 lead in hand, the six-time Pro Bowler coughed up a fumble that…read more
