Broncos’ Wilson out for game against Jets

- News services

Broncos quarterbac­k Russell Wilson will miss Sunday’s game against the Jets because of a pulled hamstring, and backup Brett Rypien will get the start.

Wilson was ruled out Saturday, less than 24 hours after coach Nathaniel Hackett said he figured Wilson’s playing status would be a game-day decision.

This will mark Rypien’s second career start. His other one also was against the Jets, a 37-28 Broncos win at the Meadowland­s on Oct. 1, 2020, when he threw for two touchdowns and three intercepti­ons.
