Won't play in Week 18 Hinton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Hinton will finish the season with his third absence in four games. The 25-year-old wide receiver will have plenty of time to heal up in the offseason after totaling 24 catches for 311 yards on 33 targets across 12 games in his third pro campaign.

Missing for another practice Hinton (hamstring) won't participate in practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact In his return from a two-game absence from a hamstring injury this past Sunday, Hinton handled a 47 percent snap share and failed to haul in either of his two targets in Denver's 27-24 loss to Kansas City. Though the Broncos didn't suggest Hinton experienced any sort of setback in Week 17, his absence from the team's first two Week 18 practices perhaps suggests otherwise. Whatever the case, Hinton will likely need to practice in some fashion Friday in order to have a legitimate chance at suiting up this weekend against the Chargers.

Not practicing Hinton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Hinton returned from a two-game absence in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Kansas City, finishing without a catch on two targets while playing 33 of 70 offensive snaps as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver. It's unclear if he had a setback with the hamstring or if he's simply being rested Wednesday as the Broncos prepare for their season finale Sunday against the Chargers.

Held catchless in loss Hinton failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. He added one rush for zero yards.
Impact Hinton operated as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver, playing on 33 of Denver's 70 offensive snaps behind Jerry Jeudy (62) and Courtland Sutton (57). In 12 games played, the second-year wideout has recorded 24 total catches for 311 yards. The Broncos' struggles on offense and his lack of consistent opportunities this season played a significant role in his underwhelming 2022 campaign. Hinton will look to bounce back and end the year on a positive note when the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 18.

Active for Week 17 Hinton (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hinton suits up for the first time since Week 14, which was Denver's first matchup with the Chiefs. He's been second or even first option at wide receiver at times this season, but Hinton likely will be the No. 3 receiver Sunday with both Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) active. Freddie Swain is a healthy scratch after handling the No. 3 role last week.

Questionable for Week 17 Hinton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Hinton's hoping to make his return following a two-game absence. Fellow wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is also questionable while Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is trending toward playing. If all three suit up, Hinton will likely see limited volume in the No. 3 wide receiver role.

Practices in limited fashion Hinton (hamstring) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After not practicing in any capacity the past two weeks while sitting out a win over the Cardinals and a loss to the Rams, Hinton has now turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 17 prep. Fellow receivers Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) have joined Hinton as limited participants in both of the Broncos' first two practices of the week, but since those two played in the Christmas Day loss to Los Angeles, they both appear to be good bets to suit up Sunday in Kansas City. Hinton, on the other hand, may need to graduate to full participation at Friday's practice to prove his injury is behind him and guarantee his availability for Sunday.

Returns to practice Hinton (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.
Impact Hinton stepped on the practice field for the first time since he suffered the hamstring injury in a Week 14 loss to the Chiefs. The Broncos will face Kansas City against this Sunday, but it's not guaranteed that Hinton will be available if he fails to advance to full participation in practice by the end of the week.

Ruled out for Week 16 Hinton (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Rams, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Hinton will sit, but the Broncos could be getting back Courtland Sutton (hamstring), who's listed as questionable. Russell Wilson (concussion) has been cleared entirely and will play against the Rams. Hinton will set his sights on Jan. 1 as his next possible return date against Kansas City.

Sitting out another practice Head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Hinton (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Hinton hasn't practiced in any fashion since emerging from the Broncos' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring injury. Unless he's able to reverse the trend and get back on the field in some capacity for Friday's practice, Hinton will likely miss a second straight game this Sunday against the Rams. In a related note, fellow wideout Courtland Sutton seems to be progressing better from his hamstring injury and could end his two-game absence Christmas Day, as he's practicing in a limited fashion Thursday for the second day in a row.

Not practicing Hinton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is returning to practice as a limited participant, offering potential relief for a receiver group that hasn't provided much behind Jerry Jeudy the past few weeks. Hinton is in danger of missing a second straight game this Sunday against the Rams.

Ruled out with hamstring injury Hinton (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Cardinals, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact With both Hinton and Courtland Sutton sidelined by hamstring injuries, backup Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien -- who's filling in for Russell Wilson (concussion) -- will be working with a limited receiving corps outside of Jerry Jeudy. Hinton will try to heal up before the Broncos face the Rams on the road in Week 16.

Absent for another practice Hinton (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Impact For the second day in a row, the Broncos were missing two of their top three receivers due to hamstring injuries, as Courtland Sutton also sat out. Considering Sutton was withheld from last week's loss to the Chiefs while Hinton played 59 snaps in the contest, the latter may have better odds of suiting up this Sunday against the Cardinals. Before the Broncos decide on either wideout's status for the Week 15 games, they'll see if Sutton and Hinton can log some sort of practice activity Friday.

Not at practice Hinton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Hinton injured his hamstring late in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs. He's mostly been a full-time play for the Broncos recently, with Jerry Jeudy and then Courtland Sutton (hamstring) missing time due to injuries. Sutton and Russell Wilson (concussion) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving Brett Rypien to throw passes to WRs Jeudy, Brandon Johnson, Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and Freddie Swain.

Hurts hamstring in loss According to coach Nathaniel Hackett, Hinton suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.
Impact Hinton caught five of six targets for 38 yards prior to getting hurt, but Jerry Jeudy (three touchdowns) was the clear leader among Denver's wide receivers. The banged-up Broncos offense also lost quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion) and running back Mike Boone (ankle) to injuries. Denver will face the Cardinals in Week 15.

Could see more targets sans Sutton Hinton is expected to work as Denver's No. 2 receiver Sunday against the Chiefs with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.
Impact Jerry Jeudy will likely lead Denver's receiving corps, but Hinton could be next in line for targets from Russell Wilson. Hinton was moderately successful when Jeudy was hurt earlier this season and Sutton was available, turning 17 targets into 154 receiving yards over a three-week stretch.
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
One catch in loss Hinton brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Impact Hinton was disappointingly uninvolved despite Courtland Sutton (hamstring) exiting the game in the first half, recording his lowest yardage total since Week 6. The third-year wideout had posted a 12-154 line on 17 targets over the prior three contests, making his underwhelming day particularly disappointing. He'll aim to bounce back in a Week 14 home battle versus the Chiefs.

Clear path to top-three role Hinton is expected to maintain a regular role in three-receiver sets for Denver in Sunday's game at Baltimore after KJ Hamler (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ar...
Impact While Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and Hamler have combined to play just one snap over the Broncos' past three games, Hinton has been the main beneficiary in terms of playing time. He's logged snaps shares ranging between 87 and 97 percent in those contests and has produced a 12-154-0 receiving line on 13 targets while also carrying once for 13 yards. Though Jeudy is back in action this weekend and should reclaim a starting role on the outside opposite Courtland Sutton, the Broncos will likely have a spot open in the slot for Hinton after Hamler suffered a setback with his hamstring in practice this week. Hamler is set to miss at least the next four games -- and likely the remainder of the season -- after landing on IR, so Hinton should see steady playing time moving forward, even though he'll likely be a lesser priority in the passing game than both Sutton and Jeudy.

Nine targets in Week 12 loss Hinton caught five of nine targets for 35 yards and rushed once for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Hinton led the Broncos in targets but had to settle for a few modest gains as Russell Wilson (142 passing yards) continued to struggle under center. In three games since Jerry Jeudy hurt his ankle, Hinton has 154 receiving yards on 17 targets. Jeudy's status for Denver's Week 13 matchup with the Ravens remains to be determined.
