Russell Wilson was braving a shoulder injury that he sustained during a week five loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Broncos briefly put him on the injury list before starting him again for week six against the Los Angeles Chargers. Now he has an injury in his hamstring too.”I got my hammy, I kinda scrambled and moved around on one, I had to throw it away. It got me pretty good in the fourth quarter,” Wilson said after the Chargers game.

Just tried to play through it and all that. I felt good moving around, running around, throwing it, and everything else, especially early on, and then that happened. So that was a little unfortunate, but, ya know, trying to find a way to win a game,” the QB added.

The Broncos’ head coach Nathaniel Hackett briefed the media about the injury to Wilson but did not go into any details. He did not say how serious the injury was and if the QB would be available next week, but only said that he was injured in the fourth quarter.

They had started the losing streak in game week four with a 32-23 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders. In game week five, the Broncos went down 12-9 to the Colts. The loss against the Chargers means that the Broncos have fallen to 2-4 after six games.

Russell Wilson started the game well with a touchdown pass in his first ten attempts. The 39-yard touchdown was scored by rookie Greg Dulcich. Wilson’s game then fell off, and he completed 15 of his 28 pass attempts. The QB managed to throw for just 188 yards.

The Broncos take on the New York Jets, who upset the Green Bay Packers in game week six, in the next game. With Wilson doubtful for that game, the Broncos have their work cut out for them. They are currently third in the AFC West table. The team would want to snap out of the losing streak to keep themselves in playoff contention.
