The Denver Broncos need a new trench leader to turn to ahead of the NFL Playoffs. Their starting center Luke Wattenberg landed on injured reserve ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs Christmas showdown.
NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo provided the NFL injury update on Wattenberg before the AFC West showdown.
“The Broncos placed starting C Luke Wattenberg on IR today with a shoulder injury. He’s out through the first two playoff games with an injury that’s still being evaluated to determine if he can return later in the postseason. Wattenberg signed a 4-year, $48 million extension in November,” Garafolo posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.
Wattenberg is a pivotal loss for head coach Sean Payton. Especially if Denver is unable to lock in a first round bye.
