Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s 27-13 win over the New York Giants, coach Vic Fangio confirmed during his postgame press conference.

Jeudy might be sidelined for anywhere from several weeks to long as two months (or more), the story said. Jeudy had X-rays at the stadium on Sunday that came back negative, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The former Alabama star is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday that might give more clarity on a recovery timeline for the receiver. With Sutton still on the mend, Hamler could see a boost in targets. Patrick could also benefit as well as TE Fant.

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy has been ruled out for the remainder of today's game against the Giants with a lower leg injury.

Update: Jeudy has a high ankle sprain and X-rays were negative.

Jeudy was carted off the field in the third quarter and he was having a great start to the season with six catches for 72 yards. This is much better than what some thought the injury actually was, so definitely good news for Jeudy. We’ll see how much time he is going to miss, but fortunately he avoided a more serious injury.

For me, Courtland Sutton is the No. 1 receiver until he proves he isn’t. Jerry Jeudy has made a couple splash plays in the preseason and that should carry over to the regular season if Sutton returns to form.

The Broncos have been cautious with Sutton’s work during training camp, but all indications are that he will be ready for full duty Sept. 12 at the New York Giants, about 51 weeks removed from his torn ACL, the story said. It's great news for Sutton and his fantasy owners. The author added Sutton has fought off rust but has also looked dynamic at times.

Vic Fangio said that Jerry Jeudy has “proven he has good hands” over the course of the season and that Sunday’s game can spur him to do more on the mental side to avoid dropping passes in the future.

“Yes, I do think he’s got the right make-up,” Fangio said, via Ryan O’Halloran of the Denver Post. “When I [said] it’s a ‘defining moment,’ sometimes a guy drops a pass here and there, but he had a few of them and I think he’ll learn a lot from that and that the focus needs to be on catching the ball before anything else happens, regardless of whether you’re in traffic or not. I think he’ll come out a better receiver for this.”

Jeudy called his five drops in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers “unacceptable” and Fangio said that the game “could be a defining moment” in the first-round pick’s career. But as you can see above, he altered his comments a bit and he and the team still stands behind him. As the story added, with only one game left this season, it likely won't be enough time to get a real feel for Jeudy going into next season.

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio told reporters that WR Jerry Jeudy is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jeudy is hands-down the most talented receiver for Denver, but he has been outplayed by teammate Tim Patrick. QB Drew Lock will need all of his best offensive teammates if the Broncos hope to stay with the high-powered Chiefs offense.

According to Troy Renck on Twitter, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

Jeudy was limited when he practiced last week and received a questionable tag, and it appears that he is headed in the same direction this week. He should be able to bounce back with Drew Lock back under center and is our 36th ranked wide receiver for Week 13. Jeudy will have a chance to avoid an injury designation heading into this weekend's contest if he can get in a full session tomorrow.
