NEW: Russell Wilson cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol on Friday but will not play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Russell Wilson cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol on Friday but will not play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said the decision to sit Wilson was made by a group that included the top levels of the organization. “As an organization, we’ve decided to give him another week so that he’s ready to go for the Los Angeles Rams,” Hackett said in ruling Wilson out. “Russ is one of the ultimate competitors in our game. He’s unbelievable. We informed him of the decision and he’s not happy with it. He wants to get out there and play. He’s competitive, as we all know, and wants to compete for this team and be out there.
“We, as an organization, after discussing and talking through this entire week, have decided it’s best for our organization, best for Russell. We talked about this from top all the way to the bottom, looked at every single thing and just want to give him another week to get ready.”“Went through all the testing, all the protocol stuff. Did a great job through it all, really flying colors, everything was great,” he said.
Wilson was knocked out of Sunday’s loss to Kansas City and he appeared to briefly lose consciousness after he hit his head on the Empower Field grass.
