Russell Wilson appeared to have dislocated his middle finger on his throwing hand in the third quarter as the Seattle Seahawks took on the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night in a pivotal NFC West matchup.

Video showed Wilson gesturing there was something wrong with his finger and fans appeared to be a bit queasy as the cameras focused on his disjointed digit.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Seahawks were trailing the Rams 9-7. Wilson had thrown a touchdown pass to D.K. Metcalf earlier in the game and a chance to put another field goal on the board before halftime was thwarted by a missed kick.

Wilson wasn’t the only player dealing with finger issues.
