Jerry Jeudy injury update

Jeudy had an MRI scan which revealed that he had suffered a moderate hamstring injury. Initial reports claimed that the player would miss several weeks of action.

On Monday, Sept. 4, Jeudy did a few stretches with his Broncos teammates and then did some conditioning work on the side. This was a huge boost for Denver but his status for Week 1 still remains in doubt.

As things stand, Jeudy is listed as questionable on the Broncos' injury report. There is no confirmation on whether he will feature against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 10, but it is likely that he will sit this game out.

Since Jeudy is not expected to feature in Week 1 against the Raiders, you should not pick him in your fantasy team.

When will Jerry Jeudy return?

There have been no definitive reports on when Jeudy will return to Denver. However, the 24-year-old was not placed on the Broncos' short-term injured reserve list.

This means that Jeudy won’t have to miss a mandatory four games before returning to Denver's active roster. There is optimism that the injury should not be a long-term issue for the pass catcher.

In Jeudy's absence, Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. serve as the primary targets for Russell Wilson when Denver hosts Las Vegas at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday, Sept. 10. The game is scheduled to commence at 4:25 p.m. ET.
