SEATTLE — While the exact timetable for Russell Wilson’s return from injured reserve remains uncertain, he has just announced a major step in his journey toward recovery.

On Monday afternoon, the Seahawks quarterback announced via Twitter that the pin has been removed from his surgically-repaired right middle finger.

Wilson ruptured a tendon in his finger in an Oct. 7 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. He had surgery the next day and was placed on injured reserve the following week.

In the three weeks since then, the Seahawks fell to 2-5 before yesterday’s 31-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Seahawks have a bye this week and will next play the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 14.
