Brett Rypien shares Broncos QB reps with Russell Wilson limited

play

Russell Wilson was limited in practice for the second day in a row because of his injury.

After taking a large portion of the snaps with the starters over the past two days, coach Nathaniel Hackett said that he must be ready to play on Sunday against the New York Jets.

"We're working through all that," he said when asked how he split the practice between the two. We are going to make sure we take care of Russ and get ready for the game.

He didn't know if the split was 50% or more. We want to make sure everyone is prepared to play.

Wilson was hurt in the fourth quarter of the game. Wilson has been listed as a limited participant for the past two days of practice.

Wilson was getting treatment for a partial muscle tear near his right shoulder. The Broncos leave Monday for London, where they will play the Jacksonville Jaguars before a bye.

He will continue to talk to Wilson, evaluate Wilson in practice, and consult with the team medical staff and general manager before he makes a decision on how to proceed with Wilson on Sunday.

"I want to make sure that I'm communicating with Wilson, that he's in a good place, and that he can go play high-caliber football,'' he said. I would like to put a healthy person out there who can play at a high level.

Wilson was asked if he thought he could play. I'm making sure I'm ready to go. My mentality is that. I will go if I'm able to. I want to do everything I can to be ready.

Wilson missed three games in his career due to surgery on his throwing hand.

The Jets sacked Rodgers four times in their win over the Packers. The Jets' defensive tackle was named the defensive player of the week after he had five tackles and two sacks.

The defensive front causes havoc. "But those guys are doing well, especially in the stunt game, that's something you see a lot, as big and strong and powerful as they are, they're very nifty to get through the gaps whenever you give them a bit of hope.''
