Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson played Thursday night against the Colts with a partially torn lat, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
According to Schefter, Wilson suffered the injury during Denver’s Oct. 2 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
“Doctors diagnosed the injury in the days leading up to the Colts game,” the NFL insider noted. “Wilson did not practice until Wednesday, one day before Denver hosted Indianapolis. He was listed on the injury report as questionable with a shoulder strain.”
Wilson is not expected to need surgery on his right shoulder.
The Broncos quarterback passed for 274 yards, two interceptions and no touchdowns in Denver’s 12-9 loss to Indianapolis. While speaking with reporters after the game, Wilson shouldered the blame for the loss, while mentioning his injury.
“You’ve got to look at this – I’ve got to look at this and see where I can get better,” Wilson said. “I was battling, obviously, just the shoulder [injury] and all that and just trying to play quickly. We should have won that game. [We] should have won it. Like I said, it’s on me. The one thing that I know is I’ve gone through tough times before. I’ve gone through obstacles, I’ve gone through challenges, gone through highs as well as lows. A lot of highs, several lows, and I wasn’t ever getting discouraged ever.’’
