The Broncos are listing QB Russell Wilson as questionable. Nathaniel Hackett says he's a game-time decision.

Brett Rypien would be in-line to start as the only other active quarterback on the 53-man roster. This could be seen as a precipitous dropoff in a typical year, but Wilson has been awful this season, topping 300 yards passing only once and failing to best a 60% completion rate in four-of-six games.

Denver Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett has a sore quarterback in Russell Wilson, making the veteran signal-caller questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets amid growing frustration in the locker room after Monday night's 19-16 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Wilson, who suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter Monday, underwent an MRI exam Tuesday morning. Hackett said Wilson will be evaluated through the week to gauge his participation level in practices as well as his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets at Empower Field at Mile High.

"He'll be day-to-day. We'll go ahead and take a look at that and monitor [each day],'' Hackett said. "... We'll get a feel for him [Tuesday] and into [Wednesday].''

Hackett said the hamstring injury influenced "a little bit there'' how he called plays for Wilson for the remainder of the fourth quarter and into overtime Monday. The Broncos finished with minus-9 net passing yards in the second half and overtime combined in the loss, the story said. The Broncos are expecting Wilson to do everything he can to play. It looks like Rypien would get the start if Wilson can't go.

Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson added another ache Monday night to an already painful start to his first season with the team as he suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Denver's 19-16 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.

"I kind of scrambled to move around on one, I had to throw it away, it kind of got me pretty good in the fourth quarter,'' Wilson said. "Just tried to play through it ... just trying to find a way to win the game.''

Wilson played through the injury into overtime, but after showing signs of life in the first half, completed just three passes in the second half and OT. Wilson received treatment following the game and will be evaluated further Tuesday morning. As of Monday night, the belief was that he would be taken for an MRI exam as well, the story said. Rypien is Wilson's backup.

Wilson was officially listed as limited on the team's injury report for Thursday's practice but was in his customary spot with the starters during the open viewing periods. Wilson suffered a muscle injury -- to his latissimus dorsi -- in his back near his right shoulder in the second quarter of the Broncos' Oct. 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Broncos' offense has been inept, to say the least, scoring 16 or fewer points in four-of-five games. Wilson has been much of the problem, looking inaccurate and oftentimes unwilling to leave the pocket to create plays, as we became used to seeing when he was with Seattle. You likely feel compelled to start him in your fantasy lineups if you drafted him, but there are QBs in better spots this week. Wilson is currently ranked as 4for4's QB13.

Russell Wilson threw passes at practice Tuesday without any apparent discomfort or restrictions just four days after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in Los Angeles to treat a strained muscle near his throwing shoulder.

Wilson strained the latissimus dorsi, the large, flat muscle on the back that stretches to the sides and behind the arms, on his right side near his throwing shoulder in a 32-23 loss to the Raiders on Oct. 2 and has played through the injury since, the story said. He's expected to play in Week 6, but it's a Monday night game at the Chargers.

Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett says QB Russell Wilson “should be ready to play” at Chargers despite right shoulder injury

The Broncos plays on Monday night so waiting on Wilson could end up being a risk. Owners who have dealt with Wilson's disappointing play to this point may want to consider another option this week if they have one.

Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has a partially torn lat.

Wilson played last Thursday against the Colts and Week 4 against the Raiders with the injury. He is not expected to need surgery and is expected to play in Week 6 against the Chargers but won’t be 100 percent. Schefter also reports the injury is expected to linger for a few weeks. Perhaps that could explain the lackluster play from Wilson, but he has struggled all season.

Though Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was officially listed as "limited" on the team's injury report for consecutive days this week with a right shoulder injury, Wilson said Tuesday he expects to be a full go for the Broncos' Thursday night game against the Indianapolis Colts.

By league rules, the Broncos have only had walk-through practices, they had to project what players' statuses would be if they had practiced fully. As a result, Wilson was listed as limited both Monday and Tuesday. "We're just being smart with him," Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said. Asked if he was confident he will play Thursday night, Wilson said "Yeah, I'm super confident," the story said.

Russell Wilson listed as limited again today.

The tweet went on to quote Wilson, who seems pretty confident he'll play on Thursday: “Doing good. Hanging in there.” Added he’s, “super confident” he’ll play on Thursday.

From a skill standpoint, Albert Okwuegbunam is the Broncos’ best receiving option at tight end, at least until Greg Dulcich gets more time on the field. Eric Tomlinson and Eric Saubert are blockers/short-area receivers and Andrew Beck is part tight end/part fullback.

“Albert has the ability to run away (from defenders),” Russell Wilson said during camp. “I’ve been pretty hard on him. We’ve been pushing (him) and he’s working his butt off every day.”

The story said the Broncos could prioritize targeting the TE in the red zone this year. It even had a quote from GM George Patton who said Wilson targets the TE "a lot." It added WR Tim Patrick, who is out for the year, was expected to be a key target in the red zone, but now it could be the TEs. When Dulcich is back from injury, both TEs could be on the field together. We've been on this here at 4for4, reporting earlier this summer when a beat writer wondered if Dulcich could be a player to step in for Patrick. For now, it will be Albert O until Dulcich can get back, and there seems to be a lot of hype surrounding Albert O in the fantasy community. But the return of Dulcich could eventually put a dent in Okwuegbunam's fantasy value.
