Is Russell Wilson playing tonight vs the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6?

It was recently revealed that Russell Wilson has been playing through an injury that might be impacting his performance for the Denver Broncos. As a result, his status for the Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Chargers was up in the air.

Currently, Wilson is expected to start Monday night's game against the Chargers as he is willing to play through the pain for the Broncos.

Wilson's shoulder isn't 100 percent right, and that has been visible on the field to everyone. He has had a poor start to his career with the Broncos, and hopefully he will get well soon and start playing at the level that he is expected to play.

The Denver Broncos are currently 2-3 as they prepare to face a tough challenge from Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers on primetime football.

If the Broncos aren't able to win against the Chargers on Monday night, their chances of making the playoffs will take a significant hit. Hopefully, Wilson and Nathaniel Hackett will come up with a good gameplan to take out the Chargers.

Russell Wilson is quite confident despite poor start to the season

Indianapolis Colts v Denver Broncos

Russell Wilson knows that he is off to a poor start to the season with the Broncos, but he is still quite motivated to get out of this slump and start being himself again. Prior to the game against the Chargers, Wilson said this in the press conference:

"I've had tough times… and a lot of season left, a lot of season left, a lot of greatness in store, done it before going to do it again. And that's really what I think about."

"I'm motivated, not by criticism, you know, I don't think you get motivated by that, for me. I'm always motivated."

The real challenge for Russell Wilson has been being part of the new team. He played in a different system throughout his career, and is now on a new team with high expectations which also has a new head coach.

Other players on the team besides Russell Wilson will also take some time to get adjusted to what Nathaniel Hackett wants them to do. Hopefully, soon all of them will be on the same track as we go further into the season.

Currently, the Los Angeles Chargers are favored by -4.5 points against the Denver Broncos and it will be interesting to see if the Broncos will be able to cause an upset.
