Russell Wilson: Pectoral injury not 'crazy, crazy bad'

After being relatively healthy for the first four seasons of his career, Russell Wilson has been hit hard by injuries through the first seven weeks of the 2016 campaign.

The Seattle Seahawks' quarterback had ankle and MCL injuries toward the start of the year, the latter of which Wilson admitted should've kept him sidelined for a month, at least.

Wilson hasn't missed a start, but is now dealing with a pectoral injury suffered in Sunday's tie with the Arizona Cardinals.

The veteran pivot was limited in practice for the first time in his career, but downplayed the injury, saying it's not "crazy, crazy bad."

"Not concerned. Not concerned crazy or anything like that," Wilson said of the injury, according to Gregg Bell of the New Tribune.

Due to his injuries, Wilson hasn't been the running threat he's been in years prior. He's rushed for just 33 yards on the season, a far cry from the 553 rushing yards he put up in 2015, or the 849 he racked up in 2014.

"I'd be lying to you if I said my mobility is a hundred percent. But I feel really good right now," Wilson admitted.

Despite his injuries, Wilson is expected to suit up Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
