Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy won’t go on injured reserve list

There’s good news on the injury front for Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

Jeudy, who suffered a hamstring injury last week, was given an expected recovery timeline of several weeks, but he won’t be placed on injured reserve, general manager George Paton announced Tuesday.

Players who go on IR after the initial 53-man roster is set have to sit out the first four games of the season. By not placing Jeudy on IR, the Broncos are presumably showing that they expect him back before four weeks.

It remains to be seen if Jeudy will be able to get back on the field for Week 1, but he would have been ineligible to play until Week 5 if he went on IR.

Paton said that three players who made the initial 53-man roster will be placed on short-term injury lists on Wednesday, ruling them out for at least four games. Jeudy won’t be one of those three players.
