Things did not go as planned for the Denver Broncos during Thursday’s joint practice session with the Los Angeles Rams. Starting quarterback Jerry Jeudy had to be carted off the field with a concerning hamstring injury, which at this point, has already put his availability for Denver’s season opener at risk.
Jerry Jeudy Expected to Miss ‘Several Weeks’
Jeudy looked like he was in significant pain after going down during Thursday’s practice. So much so, that the medical team had to take him off the field on a cart.
League insider Tom Pelissero has now provided an update on the status of the young wide receiver, who unfortunately, is set to sit out the next few weeks because of this hamstring problem:
“#Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is expected to miss several weeks with a moderate hamstring injury suffered today in practice, per me and @TomPelissero,” Rapoport wrote in his tweet.
The Broncos kick off their season on September 10th with a Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. That’s just a little over two weeks from today, and the fact that Jeudy is now expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks does not bode well for his chances to start in Denver’s first game of the new season.
Sean Payton Reacts to Jerry Jeudy Injury
Broncos head coach Sean Payton also provided an update on Jeudy’s condition after practice. The veteran shot-caller confirmed that Jeudy did suffer some sort of hamstring injury. Payton also said that the team should know more after the former No. 15 overall pick undergoes tests:
“It’s a hamstring,” Payton said (h/t Zac Stevens of DNVR). “He’ll get an MRI. We’ll kind of see where he’s at with it.”
“… He plays Z, he plays in the sub position for us. Hopefully it’s not anything long term.”

The Broncos have been bitten by the injury bug in the offseason. Jeudy is the third wide receiver who has suffered a significant injury thus far, with Tim Patrick tearing his Achilles and K.J. Hamler being diagnosed with a career-threatening heart condition.
