Here are the Denver Broncos injury updates for their Week 12 matchup vs. the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Denver Broncos are getting all their guys back to full strength this week. The only player not yet a full participant on this list is guard Ben Powers, but he progressed from a non-participant to a limited one on Thursday. That usually signals a return to game action by Sunday. We’ll have to see if that’s what happens.

On the other side, the Las Vegas Raiders got three of their non-participants back to limited. However, a full five players remain on the...

The Denver Broncos are trending toward getting their starting safety back on Sunday for an AFC West matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Denver Broncos OG Ben Powers returns, Brandon Jones upgrades to full participation

The Denver Broncos were back on the practice field on Thursday as they gear up for their final practice on Friday prior to heading to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders on Sunday.

After missing Wednesday’s practice and working on the side field, Broncos left guard Ben Powers (shoulder) returned to practice and was a limited participant. Friday’s practice will be a key...

Ladd McConkey was listed as DNP on an estimated injury report for Thursday while Khalil Mack was tagged as limited.

The Chargers did not practice on Thursday but the team did release an official injury report with “estimates” in terms of player injuries should a full practice have taken place.

Ladd McConkey (shoulder), Denzel Perryman (groin), Cam Hart (concussion), and AJ Finley (ankle) were all estimated to be DNP. Perryman and hart both left Sunday’s game early with their respective injuries while McConkey obviously finished as he was the fuel of the Chargers’ winning drive.

Some notes

• All eyes are on two potential returns for the Chiefs this week: running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle) and defensive...

The defensive coordinator revealed that he showed his team 11 plays where it could have been better.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has been a standout strength over the past two seasons, making it surprising for some to see it surrender 30 points in Sunday’s first loss of the season to the Buffalo Bills.

Over the days to follow, there have been questions about what went wrong, and some have suggested to cornerback Nazeeh Johnson, who was making his third start at cornerback since Jaylen Watson broke his ankle in Week 7.

According to Pro Football Focus, Bills quarterback Josh...

2nd-year tight end played extensively

Let’s look at how the Las Vegas Raiders 2023 draft class has fared in a 34-19 Week 11 road loss at the Miami Dolphins and what to expect in a Week 12 home game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. PT.

Seven of the nine players from the draft class are currently in the program. The Raiders cut third-round pick Byron Young and he was claimed by the Philadelphia Eagles. He was inactive in Week 1. Seventh-round pick, defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera was cut in Week 7 and...

Colston Loveland already knows how to play for Jim Harbaugh and the standout tight end would immediately fix one of the roster’s biggest holes.

The tight end position was a need prior to this year’s NFL draft back in April and despite plugging the hole with a pair of veteran tight ends for the 2024 season, the position will once again be at or near the top of the list by next year’s draft.

Last year, the Chargers were tied to several tight ends in the early rounds, including Brock Bowers. This year, they’ve been mainly tied to one player...

Rookie tight end balled out (again) in Miami

Let’s look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in a 34-19 Week 11 game at the Miami Dolphins and what it means heading into a Week 12 home game against the Denver Broncos. Kickoff is at 1:05 p.m. PT.

Brock Bowers:

Bowers had 13 catches for 124 yards and a score. It was the most catches by a rookie in a game ever. He has 70 receptions. He has the second most catches by a Raiders rookie behind Amari Cooper’s 72 in 2015. Bowers has seven more games to...

Kansas City players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had their homes burglarized on successive days.

Last week, it was reported that the homes of two of the Kansas City Chiefs stars — quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce — were burglarized on successive days during early October.

“I mean, obviously it’s frustrating [and] disappointing,” said Mahomes last week. “I can’t get into too many of the details because the investigation is still ongoing. But obviously, it’s something that you don’t want to happen to, really, anybody — but obviously yourself.”

Now it appears that these were part of...

Emany Johnson was a college teammate of current Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley while at Nevada from 2018-2021.

On Wednesday, the Chargers announced a pair of roster moves.

First, the team is signing safety Emany Johnson to the practice squad. In a corresponding move, the Chargers are releasing tight end McCallan Castles from the practice squad.

Johnson went undrafted after playing his collegiate ball at the University of Nevada. From 2018-2021, Johnson was also teammates with current Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley.

The 6’2, 216-pound safety was a First-Team All-Mountain West selection in 2023 after posting 100 total tackles, three interceptions, four...

Let’s see what AP staffers (and readers) think about Sunday’s game between Kansas City and Carolina.

Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 11 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills, a couple of contributors on our Arrowhead Pride panel picked Kansas City to lose. Still, we ended up with an aggregate prediction of a 25-23 Chiefs victory. That carried 22 points of error compared to the 30-21 loss*: it missed the point spread by 11 points, Kansas City’s score by four points and Buffalo’s score by seven. Just 25% of our contributors picked the Bills to win. Our readers were significantly...
