Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson proclaimed himself 'ready to roll' despite a lingering hamstring injury Wednesday ahead of Denver's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.
Hackett echoed his comments from earlier in the week, saying Wednesday that Wilson “is trending in the right way.”
“We want to be smart with him,” Hackett said of Wilson’s limited practice. “We don’t want any setbacks.” The Broncos lost their fourth straight despite another outstanding defensive performance, and Hackett has faced more scrutiny than any rookie coach in the league because of his team’s offensive woes and his debatable in-game decision-making.
With the Seahawks in 2018, Wilson threw three touchdown passes in Seattle’s 27-3 victory over the Oakland Raiders at Wembley.“It’s been something that he’s been dealing with for quite a while right now, and so we want to make sure that he’s going to be OK long-term,” Hackett said.
