The Week 1 status of Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy is now up in the air following a report concerning an injury the fourth-year pro sustained during Thursday’s practice.
Denver expects Jeudy, 24, to miss “several weeks” due to a moderate hamstring injury, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. The update comes just a few hours after the former first-round pick was carted off the field during Broncos practice.
While the diagnosis will reportedly affect Jeudy’s short-team availability, Denver remains hopeful for his outlook going forward, with Rapoport and Pelissero reporting there’s “optimism” from the team the injury is “nothing long-term.”
