Report: Broncos QB Russell Wilson has shoulder procedure
Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson underwent a procedure to relieve discomfort in his throwing shoulder, NFL Network reported Saturday.
Wilson reportedly received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection on Friday in Los Angeles, one day after the Broncos dropped a 12-9 overtime decision against the visiting Indianapolis Colts.
Wilson completed 21 of 39 passes for 274 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions against the Colts, and the Broncos are 2-3 since signing the longtime Seattle Seahawks star to a $245 million contract extension.
Wilson showed up on the injury report last Tuesday with a right shoulder injury, with coach Nathaniel Hackett saying the nine-time Pro Bowl selection was “dinged up” after Denver’s Week 4 loss at Las Vegas.
According to Saturday’s report from NFL Network, the 33-year-old Wilson is dealing with a strained latissimus dorsi muscle, an injury more common to baseball players.
Wilson has completed 59.4 percent of his passes for 1,254 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions in five games. His worst completion percentage for a full season was 61.3 percent in 2017.
