Russell Wilson takes scary hit to the head, leaves with a concussion

Russell Wilson left it all out there on Sunday for the Denver Broncos.

Unfortunately, he took a nasty hit in the process on a scramble play, and had to leave the game. The team says Wilson is being evaluated for a concussion. He clearly looked dazed and out of it after the hit, and also ended up with a huge knot on his head.

Praying for Russell Wilson after this hit. Hope he is okay. Looks dizzy, not right. His eyes were bugged out.

Never want to see this happen. 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/Dayh8Ypk5a

Brett Rypien came in and threw a TD pass to Jerry Jeudy, the receiver’s third score of the day. The Broncos are down 34-28 to the Chiefs, trying to pull off the miracle after being down 27-0.

But it looks like they’ll have to do it without Wilson.

(Update 5:09 p.m.) –

Wilson’s day is done.
