INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson added another ache Monday night to an already painful start to his first season with the team as he suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Denver's 19-16 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. «I kind of scrambled to move around on one, I had to throw it away, it kind of got me pretty good in the fourth quarter,'' Wilson said. „Just tried to play through it… just trying to find a way to win the game.'' Wilson received treatment following the game and will be evaluated further Tuesday morning.
As of Monday night, the belief was that he would be taken for an MRI exam as well. Wilson's injury comes amid continuing struggles for the Broncos' offense; Denver (2-4) has scored 16 or fewer points in five of its six games and had minus-9 net passing yards in the second half against the Chargers.
Wilson finished Monday's game 15-of-28 passing for 188 yards to go with a touchdown, but 173 of those passing yards as well as the touchdown came in the first half.
He was 3-of-11 for 15 yards in the second half. Wilson had received treatment for a partial muscle tear near his right shoulder in the wake of Denver's Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct.
