Ahead of the Broncos’ season opener, there’s a lingering question about the availability of star WR Jerry Jeudy. His injury occurred during a joint practice session with the Rams a few weeks ago. The 24-year-old WR came up limping on an end corner route, holding his leg in the knee area, and unable to walk off the field. He was subsequently carted off, and an MRI scan indicated that he would be sidelined for weeks, sparking concern among fans and experts.

However, to anyone’s surprise, Jeudy was not placed on the short-term reserve list, which would have kept him off the 53-man roster until week 4. This raised questions about the status of his recovery and whether the star WR is poised to play in the season opener. Now, Jeudy has released a statement addressing the situation.

The Silver and the Black also had a terrific preseason performance and is also slightly run by Tom Brady himself, which could be life-changing. So, it’s no wonder why fans were eagerly waiting on Jeudy’s update.

How are the Broncos looking this season?

It’s no secret that the team has faced significant challenges since Peyton Manning‘s retirement. Hopes were high for a turnaround last season with the addition of Russell Wilson, but a series of mishaps by Nathaniel Hackett resulted in a disastrous year. Hackett was let go, and Sean Payton took the helm as his replacement, raising questions once again about whether his coaching style would align with the star QB. Nevertheless, Wilson remains determined to make a strong comeback and potentially secure another Pro Bowl-worthy season.

The team’s defensive roster remains formidable, and the key to becoming a serious AFC contender lies in offensive improvements. It will certainly be intriguing to see if they can finally end their playoff drought this year.
