With a current league standing of 0-3, the Denver Broncos are eager to rebound after a challenging 20-70 loss to the Dolphins in the previous week. Their primary objective is to secure a victory against the Bears this Sunday.
Achieving this goal will rely heavily on the performance of star QB Russell Wilson, who needs all hands on deck, including starting WR Jerry Jeudy and LB Frank Clark.
Jerry Jeudy injury update: Latest on Broncos WR for Week 4
Following a notable hamstring strain during training camp, Jeudy's return to the field was initially anticipated to be delayed into the early season. Surprisingly, he made a comeback in Week 2.
Over the past two games, he secured 8 receptions out of 12 targets, amassing a total of 106 yards. In the latest face-off against the Miami Dolphins, he made five receptions, accumulating a total of 81 yards.
However, he's yet to find the end zone for a touchdown. After just two games, Jeudy faces another setback. This time, it's a concern with his knee.
Jeudy's participation in practice on both Wednesday and Friday was limited. Despite this, there is a strong likelihood that he will be on the field for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
Frank Clark injury update: Latest on Broncos LB for Week 4
Frank Clark is currently listed on the injury report with a hip ailment, leading to his absence from practice sessions this week.
The injury, a tear in his groin and abductor, occurred during a practice session prior to the team's Week Two game against Washington.
Consequently, he won't be suiting up for the Bears match this week. Clark's sole appearance this season was in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders, where he registered two tackles.
Despite this setback, Clark holds an optimistic outlook and is confident about his return for the Jets game in Week 5.
