Seattle Seahawks placing QB Russell Wilson on injured reserve; RB Chris Carson out vs. Steelers

The Seattle Seahawks will place Russell Wilson on injured reserve as he continues to recover from finger surgery, coach Pete Carroll told reporters Friday.

Wilson, who injured his right middle finger Oct. 7 against the Los Angeles Rams and underwent surgery last Friday, will miss at least three games. The earliest he could return is in Week 10 at the Green Bay Packers.

Sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler last week that Wilson is expected to be out four to eight weeks.

Wilson's streak of 149 consecutive regular-season starts will end.
