Wide receiver Courtland Sutton scrolled through his phone on Christmas night to discover that running back Phillip Lindsay suffered a right wrist injury in the Raiders loss the previous night that will require surgery.
“(Lindsay) doesn’t really talk about being hurt,” Sutton said. “If something is wrong with him, we usually don’t find out until the next day because of how much of a dog he is.”
But there’s no sugar coating the Mile-High sized disappointment for the Broncos.
Lindsay’s spectacular NFL rise was supposed to convene in celebration at the Pro Bowl in February as the first undrafted offensive rookie in league history to earn such a selection.
