Russell Wilson out 6 weeks after surgery on ruptured finger tendon
Seahawks’ Russell Wilson to miss time with injury, Geno Smith to start vs. Saints in Week 7
The New Orleans Saints might be getting a big break coming out of their bye week. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Friday that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson could miss the next six to eight weeks recovering from a ruptured middle-finger tendon that will likely require surgery. That puts his backup Geno Smith up against the Saints when they visit Seattle for a Monday night game after their Week 6 bye.

Of course right now the Saints are dialed in on their Week 5 matchup with the Washington Football Team. But we can’t help but keep one eye on the future; as many as four starters on offense could return from injuries for that Seahawks game including wide receivers Michael Thomas and Tre’Quan Smith, left tackle Terron Armstead, and center Erik McCay.

Place kicker Wil Lutz, linebacker Kwon Alexander, and defensive end Marcus Davenport are also eligible (as are a couple of backups in cornerback Ken Crawley, tight end Nick Vannett, and linebacker Chase Hansen).
