Seahawks QB Russell Wilson 'pretty dang close' to 100 percent healthy
Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson confirmed earlier this week he was returning to action after he missed the past three games due to the injured middle finger on his throwing hand, and head coach Pete Carroll confidently told reporters Monday that Wilson was "way, way ahead of schedule" regarding his recovery.
Wilson seemed to confirm that news Thursday ahead of this Sunday's game at the 7-2 Green Bay Packers.

Wide receiver Tyler Lockett added some praise for his QB1:
Seattle needs Wilson at his best as soon as possible, and not just because Green Bay is a formidable opponent.

The Seahawks play at the Rams on Dec. 19.
