Russell Wilson

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has a partially torn hamstring, an injury that could keep him out beyond Sunday's Week 7 matchup.

The timing is working against Wilson as the medical staff could opt to keep him in Denver, ruling him out days in advance of the matchup with the rehabilitation of the injury prioritized over traveling and then becoming a game-time decision. If the Broncos exercise caution and sit Wilson in Week 8, he would likely make his return on Nov. [NFL injury report](https://sportsnaut.com/nfl-injury-report-week-7/) as a limited participant in all three days of practice, his availability for Sunday’s game was always in doubt. While he showed some ability in practice to move around and throw, the medical staff believed Wilson couldn’t adequately protect himself enough to avoid further damage. Midway through a Week 6 matchup against the Chargers, Wilson injured his hamstring but managed to finish the game and play through overtime. In other words, he is dealing with a partially torn hamstring that typically requires multiple weeks to recover from.

The Broncos have scored just three touchdowns on 15 trips to the red zone. Denver has the last-ranked scoring offense in the NFL at 15.2 points per game. Rypien led the Broncos to the 37-28 win against New York. Head coach Nathaniel Hackett has said Wilson is a game-time decision, but the Broncos have decided to have him rest this week and are rolling with Rypien. "We're [having] a very open dialogue and making sure we put someone out there that's healthy and can go out there and play at a high level," Hackett said Thursday.

And this is not just a case of a quarterback zinging the ball to schemed-open targets — Hackett’s offense doesn’t really do that in any obvious fashion. This is not to insinuate that Brett Rypien is a better quarterback than Russell Wilson — from a traits perspective, that’s obviously not the case. Hackett has wanted Wilson to be more of a pocket passer — that’s clear from the tape — and that’s never been Wilson’s game. And that’s Denver’s second quarterback nightmare if it happens — especially beyond the Jets game, if Wilson is unable to return for the Broncos’ Week 8 game against the Jaguars. That would seem to be yet another recipe for disaster, but between how badly things have gone for Wilson so far, and what I saw from Rypien in the 2022 preseason, I’m wondering if Rypien has a better chance to succeed in Hackett’s offense than Wilson has. The first quarterback nightmare, of course, are the early results of the trade in which Denver sent multiple players and high picks to the Seahawks for one Russell Carrington Wilson.
