Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson left Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an apparent head injury in the fourth quarter.
Wilson’s head was driven into the ground after a 14-yard run got Denver down to the two-yard line. The quarterback went limp after his head hit the ground and he stumbled when getting helped up a few moments later.
The Broncos then put backup Brett Rypien in at quarterback and Wilson was taken to the sidelined to be evaluated for a possible concussion. The team later announced that Wilson was ruled out with a concussion.
A few plays later, Rypien threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy, marking Jeudy’s third touchdown catch of the game.
Before leaving the contest, Wilson went 23-of-36 passing for 247 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Wilson also rushed four times for 57 yards.
Denver was trailing 34-21 when Wilson exited the game. Rypien’s touchdown pass made it 34-28 with 10:49 remaining in the game.
Wilson missed one game earlier this season with a hamstring injury. He also played through a shoulder injury earlier this year.
