“These guys are really making a conversation [out of] something that’s a very important topic in this country, and I’m 100 percent supportive of them”. Because Tannehill fumbled the ball forward, the ball was moved back to the spot of the fumble and the clock started on the referee’s whistle.

Supermodel Kate Upton has condemned the four Miami Dolphins players who knelt during the playing of the national anthem on Sunday, writing on Instagram that their actions are “a disgrace to those people who have served and now serve our country”.
He is not expected to miss next Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, but Ian Rapoport is reporting the team will likely sign another quarterback just in case.
Head coach Pete Carroll said on his weekly radio show Monday that despite some swelling, Wilson’s X-ray was “clean”. “We’ve been in that situation before”. – Mike Nugent kicked a 47-yard field goal with 54 seconds left to lift Cincinnati. Seahawks CB Jeremy Lane, who knelt for the national anthem a week earlier, was standing and locked in arms with teammates during the song Sunday. Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh inadvertently stepped on Wilson’s heel, twisting it awkwardly, during a sack.
Wilson even joked about his twisted ankle after the game. Wake had seven sacks in seven games for the Dolphins last season, but at 33 years old he is viewed primarily as a situational pass rusher and not an every-down player. “A little ice, a little prayer, a little treatment. I love everyone”, said Miami’s Jelani Jenkins, one of the Dolphins to kneel.
If Wilson can’t play in the NFC West opener, the Seahawks would go with backup Trevone Boykin. It’s just all off us now and they have a system in place and they handle it and when the trainers come back to us and say, ‘All these things are passed, ‘ you’re at this stage and then you can figure out where you’re at at that point. I am pretty certain that he was not thinking, “Yeah, I knelt for the anthem and now I’m going to put an exclamation on that by scoring this damn touchdown!”
Although Wilson had limited mobility during the fourth quarter, he rallied his offense as soon as he saw Dolphin quarterback Ryan Tannehill score on a 2-yard draw to take the lead with 4:08 remaining. Also, probably! Could they lose if it turns out Wilson is hobbled?
Second, Russell Wilson is an iron-man quarterback: he rarely gets injured.

After just one game, the issue is not moot. Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry caught seven passes for 86 yards in the loss. “It doesn’t matter what it is”, Carroll said.
