Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson suffered an apparent left knee injury in the team’s Week 3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, but he doesn’t anticipate it keeping him out of action for Week 4.
According to a report by Adam Schefter of ESPN, Wilson, who is set to undergo an MRI on the knee Monday, is expecting to play next Sunday against the New York Jets.

Wilson was hurt on a second-half scramble when he was tackled by Niners linebacker Eli Harold (video here). He had already been dealing with a right high ankle sprain sustained in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins.
The three-time Pro Bowler has a reputation for playing through all different sorts of bumps and bruises, still having yet to miss a single game in his NFL career. Wilson’s MRI on Monday should give us a better idea of if he’ll be able to further his iron man legend.
