Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Denver Broncos’ backup quarterback Brett Rypien will start in place of Russell Wilson on Sunday.
This will be Rypien’s second NFL start in his career. The first came in 2021 when he and the Broncos beat the Jets.
While Russell Wilson wanted to play despite a hamstring injury and did everything he could to play, the Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett will hold back the 9-time Pro Bowl QB vs. the Jets to allow him to heal and prevent a lingering injury, per sources.
Brett Rypien gets the start.
