It is a PR disaster.
And playing hurt usually invites further injury. How would they feel about it if they let him keep playing and he had a season-ending injury? They have to protect him, for now anyway. He's their only option at QB for at least two more years, if the DEN boards are right.
Put him on IR now for four weeks, maybe he comes back healthy (healthier), maybe the OL starts playing better so they don't get him killed when he comes back, maybe Hackett figures out how to do his job better, and maybe the team is preparing for games better by then.
