Russell Wilson is expected to play in Week 2 for the Seattle Seahawks against the Los Angeles Rams despite a sprained ankle.

"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."

Wilson's backup is Trevone Boykin, an undrafted rookie out of TCU. The Seahawks could add a veteran quarterback.

Carroll said 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.

"He liked that he got banged up. He liked that he had to try and finish this thing because he wanted to see if he could do it. He wanted to prove that he could do it."
