Source: Broncos QB Siemian sprains shoulder
INDIANAPOLIS — Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian left Thursday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts because of a left shoulder injury.
The team ruled out his return.
It is believed he suffered a sprain to the AC joint following an initial exam, a source told ESPN. An MRI will take place Friday in Denver to verify and gauge severity.
Siemian, who had surgery on the shoulder after the 2016 season and was held out of some of the team’s offseason work, was sacked by Barkevious Mingo late in the first quarter and landed on his left arm and shoulder. Siemian immediately got up holding his left arm against his body and was examined by the Broncos’ medical staff before being taken to the locker room.
The Colts announced that tight end Brandon Williams was taken to a hospital because of a head injury after he was injured in the second quarter of Thursday night’s game against Denver. The Colts said Williams was moving his extremities.
