Broncos' Hackett: Wilson injured hamstring in MNF loss

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson suffered a hamstring injury in an overtime defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, head coach Nathaniel Hackett said postgame.

Hackett didn't elaborate on the severity of the ailment.

Wilson played every offensive snap for the Broncos, who fell to 2-4 after another frustrating offensive showing.

The Broncos' prized offseason acquisition completed his first 10 passes but was unable to build on his hot start. He went 3-for-11 for 15 yards after halftime and didn't complete either of his attempts in overtime.

Denver had the ball late in the fourth quarter with the score tied 16-16 and twice in overtime but could only muster one first down before losing on a Chargers field goal.

"This is very disappointing," Hackett said. "We need to have a lot more urgency across the board. It starts with me as a coach, going to all other coaches and then to the players. Players need to be more urgent. We had some opportunities there, and we got to execute at a higher level, we got to come up with better plays."

Wilson finished the contest with 188 yards and a touchdown through the air. He hasn't had a 300-yard passing performance since Week 1, when the Broncos fell to his former team, the Seattle Seahawks.

The 33-year-old underwent a procedure near his throwing shoulder after Thursday Night Football in Week 5.
