Will Russell Wilson suit up tonight vs. the Los Angeles
Rams?
The Seattle Seahawks currently have one player officially listed as being out for tonight's all-important matchup vs. the Rams and that is wide receiver Dee Eskridge. Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances that may occur from now and the lead-up to tonight's game, Russell Wilson will start tonight in the divisional game.
What to expect from Wilson and the Seahawks
The Seahawks have certainly not started in the manner in which they expected. In Week one, they got a great start by defeating Carson Wentz and the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 28-16. In that game, Wilson threw for four touchdowns with no interceptions and 254 yards.
Week 2 brought a different result as Seattle hosted the Tennessee Titans and despite scoring 30 points, they lost 33-30 in overtime. This was perhaps the beginning of the realization that the defense was light years behind the offense in terms of productivity.
In week three, Wilson and the 'Hawks were to Minnesota to take on Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings. Wilson had a pedestrian game by his standards as he threw for 298 yards and one touchdown. The Vikings escaped with a 30-17 victory, which brought the Seahawks record to below .500 for the first time this season.
In an effort to get back to .500, week four saw the Seahawks go on the road and take on the San Francisco 49ers. This game was ultimately decided in the fourth quarter and the Seahawks won the game by a score of 28-21.
Tonight's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams will go a long way in helping to determine who is in control of the division early this season.
