Russell Wilson Swallows Pride Reacting to Broncos’ Latest QB Decision

Last Sunday, the Broncos played one of the best games of the season against the Chiefs. Although they lost the game, the crowd certainly enjoyed the performance of the whole team, particularly Russell Wilson. His amazing game led to a massive comeback for the Denver team. Unfortunately, he suffered a concussion near the end of the game, which halted their momentum and eventually they lost the game. In a recent interview, the head coach of the Broncos, Nathaniel Hackett, revealed that Wilson will miss the game against the Cardinals next Sunday.

It is worth noting that Wilson cleared all the tests and was available to play; however, the head coach and the Broncos organization decided not to risk him and gave him 1 week more to recover. Certainly, Wilson did not like this decision, as he wanted to compete; but he had to swallow his pride and accept the coach and the organization’s decision.

Earlier, the Broncos HC, Hackett, told the reporters, “Russell Wilson has passed the concussion protocol. But with that being said as an organization we decided to give him another week to get ready… So he’s ready to go for the Los Angeles Rams.“

Notably, Hackett revealed that he had a long discussion with the Broncos’ organization regarding Wilson’s injury; in the end, they decided to give him one more week. Hacket also said that he told the information to Wilson; however, he was not happy with the decision. The HC praised Wilson for his competitive nature and his willingness to play every game, but the decision was best for Wilson and the organization.

Later reporters asked Wilson about this and in reply, the Broncos QB said, “They wanted to give me another week to just recover and all that. For me, I always want to be out there on the field. I believe in competing, getting out there on the field no matter what the circumstances are. I’m old-school quarterback in that sense that you got to be out there.”

Although Wilson wanted to compete, he respected the organization’s decision. Moreover, he also praised all the medical staff for their constant work to get him fit for the next game. As a result of their great work, he was able to start his practise on Wednesday.

Notably, Wilson has suffered plenty of criticism this season after his terrible showing. However, he proved his football prowess against the Chiefs last week, as he almost made an impossible comeback against them. This Sunday, he will not play against the Cardinals, as he is getting prepared for the Christmas Day game against the Rams.
