Russell Wilson Had Jaw Realigned Following Karlos Dansby Hit
Russell Wilson had his jaw realigned following the hit he took in last Thursday's game by Karlos Dansby.
Wilson said he feels fortunate to have avoided suffering a fracture.
"It was pretty close," he said Friday. "The doctor was like, 'Man, any harder, we probably [would have] had to wire your mouth shut,' so that was a good thing that didn't happen."
Dansby was fined $18,231 by the NFL.
Wilson was sent off the field by referee Walt Anderson to be evaluated for a possible concussion then returned after missing one play without being examined, which led the NFL to launch an investigation into whether the team followed proper protocol.
