They're stuck with Wilson being the starter until at least that long, I'd guess. In the meantime, if I were Hackett, I'd put Wilson on IR for four weeks and start Rypien. It doesn't make a lot of sense to keep playing your quarter-of-a-billion dollar man if he's injured, just inviting further injury. And who knows? Maybe holding the clipboard for a month will invite Russ to learn from his mistakes, see the field from a different POV, basically put his learning cap on.
But what do I know, I'm not a big time NFL HC like Hackett, or a big time GM like Paton.

If Rypien comes in and starts having success it would be a PR disaster for the donks. They simply cannot let that happen.
Plan B has to work out. They can't have a $250M mistake riding the bench.
