Jerry Jeudy Injury Update: Big Risk or Smart Move by New and Improved Broncos?

Is the Denver Broncos’ comeback in jeopardy, or is this just the calm before the storm? After a disastrous season last year, the team was looking real good, with a new head coach, and a revived team spirit. However, a recent setback involving star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy‘s injury during practice has stirred concerns among fans, given his record-breaking receiving yards last season and his status as Russell Wilson‘s favorite target.

His hamstring injury, which led to him being carted off the field, has raised speculation about potential game-time losses this season. Yet, there’s more to this unfolding narrative.

Will Jerry Jeudy play before week 4?

In a recent update, Broncos’ General Manager George Paton informed reporters that Jerry Jeudy will not be placed on the short-term injured reserve list. This means he won’t have to miss a mandatory four games before returning to the active roster, allowing the star wide receiver to remain on the 53-man squad and potentially play if deemed fit by the management.

The Broncos are set to face formidable opponents from the season opener through week four, starting with the impressive Raiders, who excelled in the preseason and are now slightly under Tom Brady. Subsequently, they’ll take on the Commanders, Dolphins, and the Bears in the coming weeks. Given the crucial importance of these early matchups, it’s understandable why the management has kept the option open for Jeudy.

Under the guidance of Sean Payton, the team appears to be in capable hands, but Jeudy’s unfortunate injury has undoubtedly left Broncos fans in a state of uncertainty and concern.

How serious is the injury?

An MRI scan has revealed that the star wide receiver suffered a moderate hamstring injury, an ailment expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks. This injury occurred during a joint session with the Rams when he came up limping on an end-corner route, clutching his upper leg and unable to walk off the field. Jerry Jeudy was subsequently carted off, visibly upset throughout the ordeal.

It’s worth noting that Jeudy faced injury setbacks in the past, missing seven games during the 2021 season due to a high-ankle sprain and two games last season. Head Coach Payton has not yet disclosed if there’s a replacement lined up, leaving fans eager to see who will be selected for the season opener, as Jeudy is likely to remain on the sidelines.
