Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson sat out Sunday’s 16–9 loss to the Jets with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.
While he wanted to try to play through the injury, Denver’s coaching staff instead took a more cautious approach with their franchise quarterback, holding him out of Sunday’s contest and handing the reigns over to rookie Brett Rypien.
In Sunday’s postgame press conference, Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett told reporters that Wilson was “trending” towards playing next Sunday in London against the Jaguars.
