    Pete Carroll: Russell Wilson should play despite sprain

    Russell Wilson has a sprained ankle, but coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that the Seattle Seahawks quarterback will be able to play in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com reports. .

    “He’s got a little bit of swelling, and he’ll make it through,” Carroll said on 710 ESPN Seattle. “How could you think otherwise? He’s going to make it through it. We have to take into account that it’s going to be hard. It’s going to be hard for him to practice and stuff like that. So we’ll have to do a few things here.”

    Carroll confirmed that the team is discussing the possibility of adding a veteran quarterback. Wilson’s backup is Trevone Boykin, an undrafted rookie out of TCU.

    Wilson was injured in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins when

    Asked if it’s a high ankle sprain, Carroll said, “There’s a little bit of everything, but nothing’s very serious. It’s just, he’s got a sprained ankle.”

    Carroll added that Wilson has a high pain tolerance.

    “Unbelievable,” Carroll said. “He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care what everyone feels like. He’s going to go anyway. It doesn’t matter what it is. He was banged up a couple years ago. You guys didn’t even know it. His teammates didn’t even know it. He’s a stud.

    Russell Wilson on ankle injury: ‘I’ll be all right. I’ll be ready to roll’

    Russell Wilson showed up to his regular postgame news conference wearing a Seahawks sweatshirt and sweats.

    “Normally in my suit and tie for you guys, but this is the best you get,’’ Wilson joked.

    Wilson, though, also hadn’t had time to get dressed while having his ankle examined — and having an X-ray taken — shortly after the game.

    Wilson wouldn’t confirm exactly what had been done or what would happen but insisted “I’ll be all right. I’ll be ready to roll.’’

    Coach Pete Carroll said of Wilson’s ankle that “we’re going to look at it.’’

    Carroll twice said Wilson had been “kicked in the ankle’’ when he was sacked by Ndamukong Suh in the third quarter.

    Wilson said “I was trying to cut inside and go down. It was just a freak accident.”

    Injury updates: Aside from Wilson’s ankle, Seattle’s most serious injury was a sprained wrist suffered by rookie tailback C.J. Prosise. Prosise had the wrist in a cast in the second half.

    “It’s not broken but it is sprained and they put a cast on him and he came back out and was available for special teams in the second half,’’ Carroll said.

    As expected rookie guard Germain Ifedi did not suit up after twisting his ankle in practice on Wednesday.

    Carroll said of Ifedi going forward that “we’ll just open it up next week and see where he is. I can’t tell you much.’’
