As the boos poured down in the Mustangs’ home opener for a worn out first half by the group’s offense, Denver likewise lost two of its cutting edge players to wounds before halftime.
Wide beneficiary Jerry Jeudy was harmed when he landed gracelessly as he endeavored to catch a Russell Wilson pass with just shy of six minutes staying in the primary quarter. The group at first called it a shoulder injury, yet after Denver’s 16-9 win, mentor Nathaniel Hackett said the injury was to Jeudy’s ribs.
Cornerback Pat Surtain II then, at that point, left the game with a left shoulder injury right off the bat in the subsequent quarter.
The two players will go through extra testing Monday, as per Hackett.
Jeudy’s physical issue affected an all around flimsy profundity outline at the recipient position. Tim Patrick experienced a season-finishing knee injury in instructional course, and KJ Hamler was a game-day latent Sunday as he gets back from hip and knee medical procedures last season.
Jeudy, who had four gets for 102 yards and a score in the season-opening misfortune to the Seattle Seahawks this previous Monday night, had one catch for 11 yards Sunday.
The Mustangs battled to keep things continuing on offense as Wilson was only 6-of-19 passing in the main half. He was better in the second and completed 14 for 31 for 219 yards, with a TD and a capture.
“Losing a person like Jerry – – not certain where that is at and whether he’ll have the option to successfully return for (Sunday’s) game or not – – yet any time you lose a person like that … it’s continuously going to be hard,” Hackett said.
Surtain’s physical issue likewise denied the Horses of their best inclusion player and the cornerback they are probably going to coordinate on a rival’s best wide collector. He shadowed DK Metcalf for a significant part of the time opener and was matched up on the Texans’ Brandin Cooks from the get-go in Sunday’s down.
Tenderfoot Damarri Mathis, whom the Horses chosen in the fourth round of this past April’s draft, supplanted Surtain on Sunday.
“Got to see him move forward. …. Thing about Damarri is it’s not excessively huge for him,” Hackett said.
