HALL OF FAME BASKETBALL COACH SAYS HE’S SEEN ENOUGH FROM BRONCOS’ NATHANIEL HACKETT
"Barring any setbacks, we're hoping to see Russell out there," head coach Nathaniel Hackett said after Friday's practice, according to ESPN.
It’s been a tough start to Wilson’s tenure in Denver after he was acquired from the Seattle Seahawks in the offseason.
Wilson has a completion percentage of just 58.6% for 1,442 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. The Broncos have broken 20 points just once in seven games, going 2-5 to start the year.
