Broncos Quarterback Russell Wilson Leaves Game vs. Chiefs

He was ruled out with a concussion.

Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was ruled out with a concussion after leaving the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.

Wilson took a hard hit by the goal line. As he was scrambling towards the end zone with the Broncos trailing 34–21, the quarterback was tackled hard by Kansas City defensive end Frank Clark inside the Chiefs’ 10-yard line.

After remaining on the field for a couple of minutes, Wilson walked off the field under his own power with Denver trainers flanking him. He was taken straight to the blue medical tent without his helmet and was escorted to the locker room to be evaluated for a possible concussion. The Broncos ruled him out for the remainder of the game a short time later due to the concussion protocol.

Backup quarterback Brett Rypien hit receiver Jerry Jeudy for an eight-yard touchdown pass on 4th and goal shortly thereafter to cut the Kansas City lead to 34–28.
