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.
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 questionable at best. Geno Smith is poised to take over at quarterback for Seattle should Wilson be forced to miss any time.
