It’s still unclear who will start at centre for the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Russell Wilson, the team’s starting quarterback, is listed as questionable for the team’s Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. He will be a game-time decision.
In addition to his ongoing shoulder injury from the 2022 NFL season, Wilson is currently struggling with a hamstring problem that developed during Week 6’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite health worries, the seasoned signal-caller lately expressed hope over his availability for this upcoming game. Wilson made the strange claim that the “wolverine blood or something” that flows through his veins plays a significant role in why he heals so quickly. Putting aside the odd idioms, it is encouraging to hear that he is confident in his capacity to recover from this hamstring issue.
According to Jeff Legwold of ESPN, the Broncos are prepping backup quarterback Brett Rypien with reps with the starting team in case Wilson is unable to play on Sunday. Rypien and Russell Wilson both received an unknown number of repetitions, according to Legwold, but, at the very least, it appears that the club is well-equipped to handle the worst-case scenario.
Week 7 will be crucial in the Broncos’ attempts to right the ship as they presently sit two games down in the AFC West with a record of 2-4, regardless of who suits up and takes the snaps.
The comprehensive injury report for the squad is available in this tweet from the Broncos’ official Twitter account.
