The Rams' star-studded L.A. homecoming will feature Wilson in his ninth start against the division foe, despite a sprained ankle suffered in their 12-10 win over the Miami Dolphins in week one.

"He made it through everything we asked him to do. He did fine. He's going to play and we expect him to play well," Carroll announced during his press conference.

In the end, the injury became much ado about nothing, as Wilson went through his normal work week and will play without limitations on Sunday, Carroll stated. But, all involved continue to express astonishment at the quick recovery.

"Yeah, I think it's a surprise that he was able to practice on Wednesday but it showed that the severity of it was such that he could manage it and handle it well. So we were very fortunate," Carroll said.

The Seahawks have officially dodged a bullet. Now, their prayer will be that their offensive line catches the rest.
