Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was reportedly carted off with an apparent hamstring injury during practice on Thursday, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Broncos.
Jerry Jeudy immediately pulled up after running full speed during a play and then grabbed his hamstring, according to Stevens. Broncos trainers helped Jeudy walk to the cart, which he left the field on. Trainers then helped him walk from the cart to the locker room, according to Stevens. Hours after, the diagnosis came in, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
‘Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is expected to miss several weeks with a moderate hamstring injury suffered today in practice, per me and @TomPelissero. That puts Jeudy’s status in question for Week 1. But there’s optimism it’s nothing long term for one of Denver’s top weapons.'
The Broncos were practicing on Thursday ahead of Saturday's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams. The Broncos begin their season against the Las Vegas Raiders at home in week 1. That game will take place two weeks from Sunday, so it could be a challenge for Jeudy to be ready to play on that day, depending on the severity of the hamstring injury.
Jeudy was expected to be Russell Wilson's top target this season as he hopes to bounce back from a disappointing 2022 season. Wilson is hoping to get off to a fast start this season under Sean Payton, and he might have to do it without Jeudy in the early part of the season.
When more details regarding Jeudy's recovery timeline come out, it will be interesting to see how Payton's team adjusts their plan without one of their top weapons at the start of the season.
