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 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.
