Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson Says He’s Worried About Playing With Wife Ciara Pregnant

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is concerned about playing in the upcoming football season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am concerned. My wife is pregnant. NFL training camp is about to start,” the 31-year-old tweeted on Sunday night. “And there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety.”

Wilson is married to singer Ciara, 34, who is pregnant with their second child together. They also have a daughter 3-year-old Sienna Princess, and Ciara has a 6-year-old son Future Zahir with her ex Future.

Ciara showed off her baby bump in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones. #WeWantToPlay,” Wilson’s tweet continued.

Wilson is not the only player to question the health and safety measures taken by the National Football League. Many players took to Twitter to echo the statement “We want to play,” but still had hangups on how they will kept safe.

Drew Brees tweeted, “We need Football! We need sports! We need hope! The NFL’s unwillingness to follow the recommendations of their own medical experts will prevent that. If the NFL doesn’t do their part to keep players healthy there is no football in 2020. It’s that simple. Get it done NFL.”

Houston Texan’s defensive end JJ Watt tweeted a list of what the NFL has said it will do to protect players and a list of what it still has not made a decision on.

“If the NFL doesn’t do their part to keep players healthy there is no football in 2020. It’s that simple. #WeWantToPlay,” tweeted Myles Garrett, Cleveland Browns’ defensive end.

“You want to watch football this year? Us players need to remain healthy in order to make that happen,” tweeted Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff. “The NFL needs to do their part in order to bring football back safely in 2020. Please address health and safety concerns so we can play football this year. We want to play!”
