The Denver Broncos are in a great position from a roster standpoint after 10 weeks of the NFL season, as they look to close out these final seven games fully healthy. On Wednesday, the Broncos saw more good news on the injury front.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds returns to practice

Denver Broncos veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds was back on the practice field for the first time on Wednesday after he underwent hand surgery and was the victim of a shooting several weeks ago.

Reynolds initially landed on injured reserve following the Broncos home win in Week...

Andre James has ankle injury

Coming off an impressive performance at his natural position, Las Vegas Raiders rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson is expected to remain at center Sunday when the team plays at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PT.

Las Vegas head coach Antonio Pierce indicated Wednesday that starting center Andre James will remain out in Week 11. He also missed the Raiders’ last game, a Week 9 41-24 defeat at the Cincinnati Bengals. James injured his ankle in a Week 8 27-20 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Powers-Johnson is a starting...

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is expected to play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ calvary is coming.

The team’s first practice of the week on Wednesday, ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, featured three key returns: wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, defensive lineman Charles Omenihu and running back Isiah Pacheco.

“[Omenihu and Pacheco] will start working [Wednesday],” said head coach Andy Reid at his usual press conference, “and we’ll just gradually build them up as we go.”

Pacheco fractured his fibula in Kansas City’s Week 2 win over the [**Cincinnati...

It’s the first weekly honor of Chenal’s NFL career.

The NFL has named Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal as its AFC special teams player of the week for Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season.

Chenal made 4 tackles during Sunday’s 16-14 victory over the Denver Broncos. But this award is about the play that kept it from being a 17-16 loss to the Broncos: Chenal’s block of Will Lutz’s 35-yard field goal attempt with one second left in the game.

“[The ball] was right below my palm,” Chenal told reporters after the game, eager to spread the credit...

Team declines to turn to Desmond Ridder after the bye

Desmond Ridder replaced Gardner Minshew the last time the Las Vegas Raiders played.

Yet, Minshew will remain the starter as the team returns from its bye week Sunday at the Miami Dolphins. Kickoff is at 10 a.m. PT.

It seemed logical that the Raiders would give Ridder a chance to start after the bye for the 2-7 Raiders. Minshew has been replaced three times this season and he leads the NFL in turnovers.

This seemed like the perfect time to give Ridder, who has started 17 games for the Atlanta...

Who played, who didn’t, and how much?

The Broncos lost a heartbreaker in a manner that has not happened this century (having a short FG that would have won the game blocked as time expired).

The players who were inactive for the game were:

Zach Wilson, Kris Abrams-Draine, Keidron Smith, Frank Crum, Calvin Throckmorton, Greg Dulcich, Eyioma Uwazurike

Two players were active that did not play in the game, Jarett Stidham and Zach Cunningham. Cunningham was signed to the practice squad in late September. The veteran inside linebacker was originally a second round pick of the Texans in 2017. He...

On Sunday, Kansas City will play Buffalo, trying for their first-ever 10-0 record.

On Sunday, the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs will be playing one of the season’s most-anticipated matchups. They’ll be traveling to Highmark Stadium in western New York, where they mean to extend their season record to 10-0 against the 8-2 Buffalo Bills. It would be the first time the team has ever opened the season with 10 wins — and would be the Chiefs’ 16th consecutive victory.

The national narrative about this game is likely to be focused on the Bills winning their last three regular-season games against...

How has the draft class fared in first half of season?

Let’s look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in the first nine games of the season before the bye and what it means heading into a Week 11 road game at the Miami Dolphins. Kickoff is at 10 a.m. PT.

Brock Bowers:

The No. 13 overall draft pick has been one of the best rookies in the NFL regardless of position. The Georgia product is on pace to be a first-team All-Pro. He is the Raiders’ best offensive player already and a major building block. He...

Strike 2: The 2024 Denver Broncos aren’t as good, week-in and week-out, as the world champion Kansas City Chiefs. Just look at the standings. KC is 9-0 and Denver is 5-5.

But the gap is closing. And it’s closing faster than anyone thought it would.

Suddenly, after a last-second blocked field goal was all that prevented the Broncos from posting their second win in the last three games against KC, all that talk about the AFC West being out of reach for the next decade because of the big, bad Chiefs dynasty seems out of date. Any honest person...

The Chargers offense is a bit more efficient when Justin Herbert takes off from the pocket.

Kansas City’s offensive line had one of their worst performances of the season on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive line struggled on Sunday — and it nearly cost them a tight game against the Denver Broncos.

Pass protection

The Chiefs' pass protection was terrible on Sunday.

The offensive line allowed 12 pressures and 4.0 sacks of Mahomes, and the numbers could have been even higher if not for some timely scrambles and a few penalties down the field.

The Broncos' pass rush altered nearly every phase of the game for Kansas City, and none of the Chiefs' offensive...

The Bengals and their top-5 ranked passing attack will stack up this week against the Chargers’ stingy No. 1 scoring defense.

The Chargers and their elite defense are about to welcome the Bengals and their high-ranking passing attack to SoFi Stadium for a bout on Sunday Night Football.

Both teams are still very much in the playoff hunt with the Bolts obviously being in the better spot heading into Week 11. However, the Bengals have been surging as of late so don’t let their narrow loss against the Ravens last week make you forget just how dangerous they can be....
