Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is listed as inactive and will miss Sunday’s season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders because of a hamstring injury.
Jeudy, who was listed as questionable, suffered the injury during a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 24. After running an end-around in team drills, Jeudy quickly grabbed his upper right leg. He was initially treated by the team’s trainers on the field and then was taken to the locker room on a cart.
Team sources told ESPN then that Jeudy was expected to miss at least several weeks.
It was a rough summer of injuries for Broncos wide receivers. Tim Patrick suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in the first week of camp, and second-year receiver Jalen Virgil suffered a knee injury during a preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers and is now on injured reserve.
Jeudy missed three games with an ankle injury last season and had some hamstring troubles in the offseason workouts leading into the 2022 season. He was also held out of some of the Broncos’ offseason work this past spring with a thigh injury.
He had 37 receptions for 523 yards and three touchdowns over the final six games in 2022, including a career-best 154 receiving yards in the season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers and a career-best three touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14.
