Team news: Denver Broncos | Page 3

Jets coach Robert Saleh is standing behind quarterback Zach Wilson after his second straight ugly performance in the Jets’ second straight loss.

Saleh said today that he is not wavering in his commitment to Wilson as the starting quarterback going forward.

The story added HC Robert Saleh said Wilson wasn't the reason why the Jets lost in Week 3. However, the story pointed out Wilson wasn't good, completing 18 of 36 passes for just 157 yards on a day when the Jets managed only 10 points and 12 first downs. Boyle is the backup and based on recent performances with the Lions over the last two seasons when given the chance, shouldn't be expected to provide a spark.

The Broncos passing offense once again looked more or less anemic in Week 1, and Jeudy returning should add some oomph to the pass-catching unit. While this doesn't necessarily put Russell Wilson on 1QB radars, Jeudy should be considered a strong WR3 with upside for more if he's a full-go come Sunday.

With the way the Broncos offense performed in Week 1, this should hopefully provide a shot in the arm. Jeudy should instantly be atop the target share in Week 2, which should allow him to return high-end WR3 value.

An MRI confirmed the Jets’ fears: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers suffered a complete tear of his left Achilles tendon Monday night, per sources.

It was the biggest fear since the injury happened during the Jets opening drive. HC Robert Saleh has already said the team will ride with Wilson, but it's a huge fantasy downgrade for the Jets WR group. The team could lean more on running backs Cook and Hall and the running game as a whole, as Hall was an obvious bright spot on Monday night. The Jets will likely bring in another quarterback, but for now the team looks primed to ride this out with Wilson at QB - and a very good defense.

Broncos’ TE Greg Dulcich is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks after injuring the same hamstring.

As Schefter noted, this is the same hamstring that caused Dulcich to miss Denver’s first five games last season and then the last two games at the end of the season as well. Schefter added the Broncos will take it slow with Dulcich when bringing him back, and he could be an IR candidate as a result of that statement. Meanwhile, Trautman was pretty involved in Denver's offense in Week 1, and could be worth a pickup if you're in need at the TE position.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

On the Monday Night Football broadcast, Lisa Salters reported Rodgers was seen going into the x-ray room wearing a boot, but x-rays were negative. Wilson is taking over at QB for Rodgers and would continue to start should Rodgers have to miss any more time.

After the game yesterday, Javonte Williams said his knee felt even stronger as the game went on.

It's great news for Williams owners, as he made amazing progress in the offseason to be ready for Week 1. Williams finished with a team-high 13 carries for 52 yards and he added four catches on six targets but for just five yards. Perine was still a factor, leading the team in receiving yards with an unimpressive 37 yards on four targets. But Williams was the leader in the backfield and the hope for owners is he continues to trend up. Week 1 was certainly a good sign bigger workloads could be in the future.

The Broncos elevated wide receivers Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Phillip Dorsett from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Raiders.

Teams can bring up a maximum of two players from the practice squad so the fact the Broncos used both spots on a wide receiver could be pretty telling regarding Jerry Jeudy’s chances to play Sunday. Jeudy is questionable with a hamstring injury. It feels like the Broncos will err on the side of caution here and play the long game with Jeudy, especially with a hamstring injury. We’ll know for sure a little before 3:00 Sunday with the Broncos in a 4:25 kickoff.

Asked today if WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) will be moved to short-term injured reserve tomorrow, Broncos GM George Paton said: "He will not go on that.''

As the post added, it would seem to indicate Broncos believe, at least right now, Jeudy will be back some point before the fourth game of the year. If Juedy does miss any games, Sutton and Mims would be the team's top two wideouts.
