9x Pro Bowler Russell Wilson experienced one of the worst experiences of his career last season while playing for the Denver Broncos. Notably, the Broncos signed the 34-year-old QB from the Seahawks for a record amount of fee. However, his first season was a disaster, as the Broncos failed to qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, Wilson also faced problems with his knee throughout the season. As per a recent report by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Wilson has been suffering from a nagging pain, and he had to take drastic measures to recover from it.
