Russell Wilson was limited in the walkthrough held by the Denver Broncos on Tuesday but insists he will play Thursday night.
Wilson, also limited on a non-practice day Monday, said he’s “super confident” his strained right shoulder can hold up in a game situation. He said he plans to be on the field for the Broncos (2-2) when they face the Colts.
Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said the Broncos consider Wilson day-to-day. Running back Melvin Gordon (neck) did not practice Tuesday for the second consecutive day, meaning Mike Boone could start for Denver. The Broncos lost Javonte Williams to a season-ending knee injury against the Raiders.
“You get banged up a couple times here and there,” Wilson said of his status.
But Wilson said he has “no limitations” for the Week 5 “Thursday Night Football” date with Indianapolis. The Colts are not ready to rule out their lead back, Jonathan Taylor, who is fighting a turf toe injury. Indianapolis will be without linebacker Shaquille Leonard. The Colts listed three injuries for Leonard on Tuesday: concussion, nose and back.
The Raiders beat the Broncos 32-23 on Sunday in Denver’s highest-scoring effort of the season. Wilson has been sacked 12 times.
Boone has three carries for 20 yards this season.
