AP Source: Russell Wilson gets injection for shoulder injury

Associated Press  

DENVER — Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson received an injection on Friday to alleviate discomfort near his throwing shoulder, a person with knowledge of the procedure confirmed to The Associated Press. Wilson popped up on the injury report Tuesday and coach Nathaniel Hackett said the quarterback’s throwing shoulder had been “dinged up” in Denver’s 32-23 loss at Las Vegas last weekend. Wilson briefly mentioned “battling” shoulder discomfort in his postgame comments but didn’t blame the injury for his poor performance in which he threw two key interceptions and didn’t see a wide-open KJ Hamler on the final play in overtime. Like I said, it’s on me.” On Saturday, Wilson quoted Winston Churchill in a tweet: ““If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Wilson and Hackett, a first-time head coach, are off to a rocky start in Denver, where fans have booed the offense — which is averaging just 14.6 points per game — in all three home games.
