Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was carted off of his team’s practice session on Thursday after incurring a right hamstring injury. “It’s a hamstring,” Broncos coach Sean Payton confirmed following the incident, adding, “We’ll get an MRI and see where he’s at with it.” The wide receiver is expected to be sidelined for several weeks as a result.

Jeudy has become the fifth wide receiver for the Broncos who may be sidelined over the medium- to long-term. Tim Patrick is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, KJ Hamler is dealing with a heart ailment, Jalen Virgil suffered a knee injury, and Brendan Johnson recently returned to practice on Thursday after missing several weeks with a leg injury.

Last season, Jeudy missed three games as a result of an ankle injury. He also dealt with a hamstring setback during the off-season workouts leading to the 2022 season. He also briefly missed out on the past off-season with a thigh injury.

The Denver Broncos are not interested in trading their top wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton. This was confirmed by the team’s new head coach Sean Payton in a chat with reporters over the weekend.

Jeudy was frequently mentioned in the trade rumors for the better part of the season, while many believed that Sutton would also be available for the right price. After relinquishing their top picks for quarterback Russell Wilson and Payton in consecutive seasons, the Broncos lack draft capital, and the talented duo might be the easiest option to get some.

But while Payton acknowledged that Denver received calls on the players, he reiterated that the team wants to keep them in the building.

“Those are two good football players. But we’re in the business of gathering talent right now,” said Payton. “Why do people call? Because they know we’re void of draft picks and that we might because there was some discussions a year ago, I think, regarding Courtland. But we like the current group that we’re working with.”

Jeudy delivered his best season as a pro in 2022, being a rare bright spot for the struggling Broncos’ offense. He finished the campaign with 67 catches for 972 yards and six touchdowns; all career highs.

Sutton, on the other hand, is a former Pro Bowler who has struggled with inconsistency since tearing an ACL in 2020. However, he is an experienced player who is still young enough at 27 to bounce back and recapture the form from the early point of his career.

ESPN analyst Rex Ryan was interviewed on Saturday by the Denver Broncos for the role of defensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday. The former NFL head coach previously stated that he would only leave his analyst role “for the perfect situation”.

Before turning to a career in broadcasting in 2017, the 60-year-old Ryan served as a head coach in the NFL for 30 years. This included eight years as the head coach of the New York Jets (2009-2014) and the Buffalo Bills (2015-2016). His highlights included leading the Jets to back-to-back AFC Championship games in 2009 and 2010.

Prior to becoming a head coach, Ryan served in various roles at the Baltimore Ravens for 10 years. This included spending four years as the team’s defensive coordinator, during which time the Ravens’ defense was ranked in the top 10 every season. In five of Ryan’s six seasons in New York, the Jets’ defense ranked in the top 10 as well.

Competing with Ryan for the defensive coordinator role is former Broncos head coach and Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, among several other candidates. Joseph is also expected to interview for the defensive coordinator role offered by the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Denver Broncos received news on Monday that the injuries to wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and center Graham Glasgow are not as serious as the team first suspected. Coach Nathaniel Hackett further stated that both players’ injuries will be assessed on a day-to-day basis this week.

Jeudy suffered an ankle injury during the Broncos’ 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, thereby having to leave the field during the first play from scrimmage. Glasgow was injured during the same game, picking up a right shoulder injury late in the third quarter which forced him to leave the game as well.

Right tackle Billy Turner and nickel cornerback K’Waun Williams were also injured during the Titans game, however, both players will be unavailable for a longer term. Hackett said that they were “week-to-week” after both incurring knee injuries.

Before receiving the update on Jeudy’s injury, the Broncos were concerned that his injury was of a serious nature as, during the Broncos’ first play from scrimmage, Jeudy grabbed at his left ankle mid-run and had to be escorted off the field. He then underwent an MRI and was placed in a walking boot.

The Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick has suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, thereby ruling him out of action for the season. The injury occurred during a training drill on Tuesday.

After catching a pass, Patrick turned to run up field, at which point his leg buckled and he collapsed to the ground, clutching at his knee. Several concerned teammates approached Patrick and surrounded him, immediately aware of the issue that befell their teammate as the team’s trainers arrived on the scene to treat him.

Team training was halted in its entirety at the time of Patrick’s fall, only to be resumed once the wide receiver was escorted off the field and provided medical treatment. According to veteran safety Kareem Jackson, this is a testament to Patrick’s standing with the team. Jackson referred to this incident as “the longest I’ve seen practice kind of held [up].”

“Guy like Tim … it breaks your heart,” coach Nathaniel Hackett remarked as the Broncos medical team awaited Patrick’s medical test results. “The worst part of this game is when things like this happen.”

Considering that Patrick racked up the third most receptions for the Broncos last season with 53 and led the team with five touchdown catches, the wide receiver’s injury has caused much anxiety for his team. Now, the Broncos will have to adapt to life without Patrick leading up to the new season.

Many people believe 2021’s second-round pick Javonte Williams is the future of the Denver Broncos’ backfield. However, that future will have to wait a while if Melvin Gordon manages to have a say in it.

Gordon, who started 16 games in 2021 for the Broncos, told reporters on Tuesday that he won’t give up his top running back spot without a fight.

“I told [Broncos general manager George Paton] when I was at the [negotiating] table, I’m not going to lay down, I’m not going to lay down,” Gordon, who signed a new one-year deal with Denver in April, said. ” … I’ve always got that mindset that I’ve got to go get it every year.”

Despite being a starter, Gordon shared carries with Williams last year. They finished the year with 203 carries, although the veteran was more successful with 918 yards and eight touchdowns. The rookie, on the other hand, had 903 yards and four TDs en route to the PFWA All-Rookie Team honor.

Melvin Gordon, who is a two-time Pro Bowler, initially planned to change teams in the free agency. However, it turned out that there were not a lot of teams who could guarantee him significant playing time. This and Denver’s acquisition of star quarterback Russell Wilson ended up prompting Gordon to stay put despite an upcoming battle for carries.

The Denver Broncos are going to be getting a new voice in their front office. This is after Hall of Famer John Elway has been making all the football decisions for the franchise in the past 10 years.

The Broncos confirmed on Tuesday that the organization intends to hire a general manager ahead of the 2021 NFL season. The new GM will take on most of Elway’s duties, including roster moves, draft choices, and free agency dealings.

Elway will assume a new role moving forward and will act as the Broncos’ President of football operations.

“I knew there was going to be a time at some point in time, this was a position I would, hopefully, move to,” said Elway during a press conference. “It gave me the opportunity to move up and I think it’s the right time for me.”

Elway will be at the front of the GM search with CEO Joe Ellis, director of player personnel Matt Russell, and head coach Vic Fangio. Several names have already been linked with the opening, including San Francisco 49ers senior football vice president Adam Peters and Tampa Bay Buccaneers director of player personnel John Spytek.

John Elway joined the Denver Broncos in an executive role in 2011, having previously led the franchise to two Super Bowls as a quarterback during the late ’90s. Elway was handed all the decision-making power, and he did the best with it early on.

In the first five years under Elway in a management role, the Broncos won five AFC titles, made two Super Bowl trips, and won Super Bowl 50.

The next five, however, were less successful. Elway didn’t do a good job in finding a replacement for retired quarterback Peyton Manning, and the Broncos failed to make the playoffs ever since while recording just one winning season.
