Drew Lock, Jerry Jeudy headline ridiculous number of NFL players getting banged up in Week 2
Injuries happen in football. Quite a few injuries are happening around the NFL’s early window this Sunday, including a pair of prominent SEC alumni on the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos are turning to former Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel after a shoulder injury sent Drew Lock to the locker room in the first quarter of the Denver-Pittsburgh game.
Later in the game, Denver wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was injured.

The good news is that Jeudy is listed as “probable” to return, unlike Lock who has been ruled out.
Jerry Jeudy is probable to return with a rib injury.
At least some good news.

Hopefully, the injury bug decides to ease up a bit on the Week 2 games.
Today:

Saquon Barkley carried off with knee injury.

Hopefully Drew’s isn’t serious. Denver has no chance without Lock.
They had no chance with Lock..
Broncos win last week if Jeudy doesn’t drop two passes. He was wide open. He killed the team.
Broncos have problems and it’s not any single player…
@tonytiger: Exactly. He also had two drops in yesterday’s game before Lock went down, one was a 3rd down drop that would have gone for a 1st sustaining a drive, instead they had to kick it away. Jeudy has some catching up to do (no pun intended).
I wonder if this rash is due to no pre-season and limited hitting in practice. It seems there has been a bigger # of injuries than usual in the 1st two weeks.
