NFL: Denver Broncos at Tennessee Titans
(Denver) — It’s a bad day to be a Denver Broncos fan. Or a fantasy owner who drafted too early.
NFL Network’s James Palmer reports receiver Jerry Jeudy was carted off the field with an apparent hamstring injury on Thursday.
“Jeudy took an end around and then grabbed his right upper leg. Looked like his hamstring. He was visibly upset. The cart came out to get him. He had trouble getting on in and teammates came over before he was taken inside. He needed help getting off the cart and getting inside.”
The extent of the injury is still unknown but the Broncos should provide more entail on Thursday. Any major injury to Jeudy would be brutal blow for Denver, who already lost Tim Patrick to a torn Achilles in July.
Jeudy figured to operate as the No. 1 receiver in Denver’s’ offense this season and is fresh off a career year in which he totaled 67 receptions for 972 yards and six touchdowns.
Should he miss any time, Courtland Sutton and rookie Marvin Mims would both see significant boosts in their fantasy stock.
