Russell Wilson hasn’t gotten off to the start that he or the Broncos envisioned after the team traded for him this past offseason. Now a hamstring injury only further adds to the difficult beginning of the campaign for the 33-year-old quarterback.
Wilson suffered the injury late in Denver’s overtime loss to the Chargers on Monday Night Football. An MRI on Tuesday confirmed the news and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the nine-time Pro Bowler is in “real pain.”
Though his hamstring seems to be causing him quite a lot of discomfort, Wilson still seeks to play in Week 7 against the Jets. Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed as much Friday, saying that Wilson is a gametime decision this weekend.
