Expert predictions for when Russell Wilson returns in Week 10 – The Athletic

If it wasn’t obvious, the absence of Aaron Rodgers last week proved why he is the reigning MVP. Green Bay probably wouldn’t have come close to 7-2 without him. Rodgers missed the Packers’ 13-7 loss to Kansas City due to COVID protocol. Jordan Love had 190 yards of passing with one touch and one intercept in his first game. Green Bay didn’t enter the final zone until its final possession, but had another chance. Mason Crosby blocked one and missed another while Love’s intercept came at the 5-yard line. Rodgers was activated to return to service on November 13. Green Bay remains open as a favorite, although the route may move a bit before starting.

That’s also because Russell Wilson could be back this week. Wilson was assigned to return to training Monday after his final game on October 7. Seattle drew 1-2 in his absence, with a win over Jacksonville two weeks ago, just before the break. separate. The Seahawks are 3-5, ranking just below Atlanta for last place in the NFC knockouts. Seattle only missed the playoffs once during Wilson’s tenure, so there can certainly be a sense of urgency here if you’re thinking about playing a nasty game.
