Wilson was injured in the third quarter while being sacked by Ndamukong Suh, his foot and ankle twisting awkwardly as he went down.
“He’s got a sprained ankle, a little bit of swelling and he’ll make it through”, Carroll said on his weekly radio appearance on ESPN 710.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (ankle) will practice Wednesday.
But Wilson never left the game.
After Ndamukong Suh stepped on the ankle of Rusell Wilson, it looked like a very unsafe situation for the Seahawks, but their QB had no problem finishing the game as he led his team to the victory with a clutch late-game drive to put ‘Hawks up by 2.
“We never thought for a second that he wasn’t going to play”, head coach Pete Carroll added.
Be Civil – It’s OK to have a difference in opinion but there’s no need to be a jerk. “I think everyone played admirably and I think for the mistakes we made and the holes that we kept digging ourselves into, it’s a blessing that we came out with a win”.
Playing through an ankle injury suffered in the third quarter, Wilson took Seattle 75 yards the final time the ball was in his hands. He looked as if he was laboriously trekking the Wonderland Trail in hiking boots as much as quarterbacking the Seahawks.
Wilson used his Twitter account to write, “Hard Work Pays Off”, and that he is moving onto the team’s next opponent the Los Angeles Rams.
“There’s definitely a feeling of familiarity”, cornerback Richard Sherman said of Wilson’s performance.
“The one thing about Russell is he wants that feeling, he wants that pressure, so I went up to him personally and told him about it”, explained running back Thomas Rawls.
Wilson’s 26 passes to start were his most in a first half in his five-year career. And with less than a minute left in regulation and no timeouts, Peyton Manning was vintage in leading Denver to a game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion in 41 seconds.

While Wilson played with a sprained ankle they gained 157 yards on 34 plays – the same average of 4.6 yards per play – and scored, yes, six points. I’m going to do this, ‘ ” Carroll said. Graham was in for 17 snaps and had one catch for 11 yards.
