Russell Wilson's ankle injury could keep him out in Week 2

Russell Wilson was able to lead the Seattle Seahawks to a season-opening win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but Seattle may have to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2 without their star quarterback.
Wilson finished Sunday’s game despite being in obvious pain after Dolphins’ D-lineman Ndamukong Suh stepped on his ankle (this being Suh it seems necessary to say it was inadvertent).
But now it’s the morning after, and Wilson might have to spend much of the week with his feet up – literally.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that Wilson’s injury is “significant” and that his availability for this coming Sunday is in jeopardy.

Further, Rapoport tweeted, with Wilson’s status up in the air, Seattle will likely be signing another quarterback, probably a veteran.
Now in his fifth season, Wilson has never missed a game or snap to injury, but the only other quarterback the Seahawks currently have on the roster is undrafted rookie Trevone Boykin.
