- Wilson is out until at least mid-November after surgery
- Newton was released by Patriots before start of season
The Seattle Seahawks have reached out to Cam Newton during Russell Wilson’s absence from the team after surgery on an injured finger.
Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers was the first game Wilson had missed for the Seahawks since December 2012. The earliest he will return is the Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers on 14 November. Geno Smith has filled in adequately for the Seahawks in Wilson’s absence but on Monday Seattle coach Pete Carroll admitted the team had talked to Newton.
