The Broncos ruled out quarterback Russell Wilson for Sunday's game against the New York Jets with a hamstring injury. Brett Rypien moves into a starting role
The Broncos ruled out quarterback Russell Wilson for Sunday's game against the New York Jets with a hamstring injury, announcing it on social media. Brett Rypien moves into a starting role after splitting reps with Wilson this week. Rypien is 1-0 as a starter, defeating the Jets 37-28 on Oct. 1, 2020.
Coach Nathaniel Hackett indicated on Friday that Wilson needed to be able to"protect himself," and it was decided he wasn't ready. It has been a forgettable start to Wilson's career in Denver. He remains on pace for career lows in touchdowns and completion percentage , while getting sacked 20 times. Wilson has also been dealing with a shoulder lat injury, sustained in the second quarter against the Raiders. He completed five of his final 18 passes against the Chargers.
"I have been taking more reps in practice. You have to approach it like you are getting in the game. You've seen it around the league, there's been a lot of guys hurt, and it's only Week 6," Rypien said."You have to be ready."
