The 2022 NFL season has not started the way Russell Wilson envisioned.
Not only did the Broncos suffer a 19–16 loss to the Chargers in overtime on Monday Night Football, but Wilson also ended the drab offensive showing with a hamstring injury. Following a MRI on Tuesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the nine-time Pro Bowler will be day-to-day this week but that the quarterback is in “real pain.”
With Denver (2–4) set to face the surging Jets on Sunday, that equates to a short week for Wilson. As a result, Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett plans to evaluate his progress throughout the week.
