Broncos QB Russell Wilson in concussion protocol; RB Mike Boone likely done for season
Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol after being knocked out of the game in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
There are five phases in the protocol that Wilson would need to pass through in order to be cleared for this week’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. If Wilson is not cleared before Sunday, Brett Rypien will start in his place.
Elsewhere on the injury front, running back Mike Boone suffered a high-ankle sprain on Sunday, and coach Nathaniel Hackett said Monday “it doesn’t look good” for Boone to be able to play again this season.
Boone totaled 198 yards from scrimmage in nine games this year. He is scheduled to become a free agent in 2023.
Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (hamstring) and outside linebacker Jacob Martin (knee) also left Sunday’s game with injuries. Hackett said those injuries are still being evaluated.
We’ll know more on the injury front when Denver returns to the practice field and releases an updated injury report on Wednesday.
