It looks like Russell Wilson will be on the field Sunday against the Packers.

Wilson hasn’t played a snap of football in a game since injuring his finger a few weeks back, and Seahawks fans have been waiting on pins and needles for him to return. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

The superstar quarterback released an Instagram video Monday afternoon that seemed to make it clear he’s suiting up Sunday. You can give it a watch below.

As Seattle fans know, Wilson revealed at the start of November that the pin was out of his finger, and once people saw that, we all knew it wouldn’t be long before he was back.

Well, it now looks like this Sunday against the Packers will be his official return date.

The Seahawks are currently 3-5 and certainly have an uphill battle in order to make the playoff. However, their dream of the postseason isn’t dead just yet.

With Wilson returning Sunday, there is still hope that the Seahawks could make a run down the stretch and win some games.

Can you imagine the reaction around the league if Wilson returns and Seattle rattles off a bunch of wins in a row?

People are going to go wild. Everyone knows he’s great, but it never hurts to get a reminder of that fact.

We’ll have to see what he does Sunday against the Packers when he cuts it loose. I’m sure he’ll be out there balling.
