Now Russell Wilson is dealing with injuries to both legs.

Wilson, the Seahawks quarterback who was already playing through a high ankle sprain of his right ankle, suffered an injury again today against the 49ers. This time it was his left ankle that bent awkwardly underneath him, an injury that at first appeared to be serious.

However, Wilson came off the field for just one play before going back in the game. He was moving around gingerly, but he indicated that he was good to go, and the Seahawks’ coaches and medical staff allowed him to keep playing.

With the Seahawks winning 27-3,the Seahawks took Wilson out to let him rest on their next possession. Even if Wilson is OK to play, he looks like he could use a break right now. And maybe some NanoBubbles.
