| | Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (head) exited Sunday's game against Kansas City. The veteran smacked his head on the ground during a play, which was amplified when several Chiefs defenders landed on him. Wilson looked obviously rattled after it happened, and he was observed with a knot on his forehead while heading toward the blue medical tent. He is now being evaluated for a concussion, and if he doesn't return, his day will end with the signal-caller throwing for 247 yards and three touchdowns (one pick) off 23-for-36 passing while adding 57 yards off four carries, arguably his best showing of the 2022-23 campaign. Brett Rypien entered the contest, and would presumably remain the starter if Wilson can't suit up in Week 15. |
| | Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (head) didn't return to Sunday's loss to Kansas City in Week 14. During a fourth quarter scramble, the veteran landed on his head, which was amplified by a few Chiefs defenders falling on top of him. Wilson struggled to get back to his feet, looking obviously rattled, before being observed with a bump on his forehead on the way to the medical tent for a concussion evaluation. He finished the day by throwing for an adequate 247 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick off 63% passing and adding four carries for 57 yards. With the Broncos now sitting at a miserable 3-10 record, it's possible the team will play it safe by keeping him out in Week 15, possibly longer. If that's the case, Brett Rypien, who had 16 yards, a touchdown, and interception while completing four of his eight throws after coming in for relief, would presumably be under center moving forward. |
| | Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (hamstring) was injured in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. It wasn't a good day for the Broncos offense from a health standpoint, as Denver was already entering the day without Courtland Sutton (hamstring), the team's top wideout. Mike Boone (ankle) and Russell Wilson (head) were hobbled during the contest, with the signal-caller unable to return after receiving a concussion evaluation. Now, it appears Hinton, who was observed limping after the game, suffered a hamstring injury. He would finish with five catches for 38 yards. Hinton may be limited at practice leading up to the Week 15 meeting with the visiting Arizona Cardinals. However, with the Broncos sitting at 3-10, it's unlikely the club will rush any of its players back too soon. |
| | Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (hamstring) suffered an injury in the 34-28 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14 on Sunday. Despite the injury, Hinton still managed to haul in five of his six targets for 38 yards. Hinton's five receptions were second on the team, and his six targets were third, so he was pretty heavily involved with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) inactive. But Jerry Jeudy (8-73-3) was the clear top target for quarterbacks Russell Wilson (concussion) and Brett Rypien. The 25-year-old Hinton would serve as Denver's No. 2 wideout again in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals, but that's assuming he plays and Sutton is out again. Hinton needs a lot to go his way for him to be worth a flex spot in deeper leagues. |
| | Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (head) is officially in the concussion protocol on Monday, and the Broncos will follow all of the league's protocols, according to head coach Nathaniel Hackett. "His safety is by far the No. 1 most important thing," Hackett said. Wilson was injured late in the Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and was replaced by backup Brett Rypien. Before he left, the 34-year-old he had one of his best games of an extremely disappointing season, going 23-for-36 for 247 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He also had four carries for a season-high 57 yards. With Denver eliminated from playoff contention, it makes no sense to rush Wilson back. Don't expect to have him in two-QB leagues in Week 15. If he can't clear the protocols, Rypien would make the start and be a low-end QB2 option against the Arizona Cardinals. |
