Broncos’ Russell Wilson (shoulder) ‘super confident’ he’ll play Thursday

Russell Wilson was limited in the walkthrough held by the Denver Broncos on Tuesday but insists he will play Thursday night.

Wilson, also limited on a non-practice day Monday, said he’s “super confident” his strained right shoulder can hold up in a game situation. He said he plans to be on the field for the Broncos (2-2) when they face the Colts.

Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said the Broncos consider Wilson day-to-day. Running back Melvin Gordon (neck) did not practice Tuesday for the second consecutive day, meaning Mike Boone could start for Denver. The Broncos lost Javonte Williams to a season-ending knee injury against the Raiders.

“You get banged up a couple times here and there,” Wilson said of his status.

But Wilson said he has “no limitations” for the Week 5 “Thursday Night Football” date with Indianapolis. The Colts are not ready to rule out their lead back, Jonathan Taylor, who is fighting a turf toe injury. Indianapolis will be without linebacker Shaquille Leonard. The Colts listed three injuries for Leonard on Tuesday: concussion, nose and back.

The Raiders beat the Broncos 32-23 on Sunday in Denver’s highest-scoring effort of the season. Wilson has been sacked 12 times.

Boone has three carries for 20 yards this season.
