5 bold predictions for Broncos against Washington
By Scott Rogust
3. Jerry Jeudy scores touchdown in return
The Denver Broncos suffered their first huge injury on the season in Week 1, when second-year wideout Jerry Jeudy had to be carted off the field. It was later diagnosed as a high ankle sprain, and had missed time ever since. But this week, Jeudy will be making his return on Sunday against Washington, per NFL Network’s James Palmer.
Jeudy was expected to have a huge season, given that Denver’s receiving corps was one of the deepest in the league. That took a hit once Jeudy sprained his ankle and K.J. Hamler tore his ACL in Week 3. Now, Denver’s passing offense has the chance to thrive with Jeudy back in the lineup.
Given that Washington has been dreadful defending the pass (dead-last in NFL allowing 300.6 yards per game), Jeudy should be able to make an impact in his first game back. By that, we mean that Jeudy scores a touchdown on Sunday.
