Denver Broncos Injury Report – Is Redemption Still on the Cards for Russell Wilson?

Russell Wilson is in the danger zone. Although the Denver Broncos have won their last matchup against the Green Bay Packers 19-17, it doesn’t mean the thought of trading Wilson has faded. Ahead of their next showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs again, coach Sean Payton confirms one piece of news that isn’t good for Wilson or his fans.

In their last matchup, the Chiefs gave a stunning and easy defeat 19-8 to the Orange team. However, ahead of their second meet this season, Broncos QB Wilson showed his confidence in winning over Patrick Mahomes and company. Amid this, coach Payton also shared his views on Wilson’s potential trading, and released an injury report of the team.

Meanwhile, according to some reports, it appears that Sean Payton is now looking for the correct time to trade Russell Wilson.

Does Sean Payton want to trade Russell Wilson ‘right now’?

There is a report circulating that if Sean Payton gets the opportunity to trade Russell Wilson now, he will do so at the earliest. In his first season with the Broncos, coach Payton is off to a miserable start with 2-5 in the season so far. Hence, they started their youth movement in which they traded for young players to give them a fair chance to prove their worth.

Meanwhile, Payton is also planning to trade Wilson according to Jason La Canfora, the general manager of NFL, “He’d [Payton] trade the quarterback right now if there was a market for him.” Although Wilson’s stats this season look strong with 1,499 yards, 13 touchdowns, four picks, and a 66.4 percent passer rating, his performance hasn’t translated into wins for the team.

The Broncos will have their next matchup again with the Chiefs on Sunday, October 29 at Mile High. Wilson will be looking for their next win after defeating Packers, to continue their “momentum alive.” However, brighter days are not in store for the Broncos this time, and, likely, the team will not reach the playoffs this season.
