The Denver Broncos have had a mixed bag on the injury front to start their Week 6. Their first true major loss of the season came in the form of a biceps injury to guard Ben Powers. While he is on the injury report today, there is expectation that he’ll be moved to injured reserve with the hope of getting him back by mid-December. That was a big blow to the offensive line.
News also broke this morning that edge rusher Jonah Elliss was held out of practice with a couple of nagging injuries to his ribs and shoulder. That is one to watch this week as the Broncos pass rush is currently the top ranked unit in the NFL. Also limited were running back Tyler Badie and defensive tackle D.J. Jones. The team also designated Malcolm Roach as returned to practice as he looks to come off short-term injured reserve.
The New York Jets also did the same with linebacker Ja’Markis Weston. They have a slew of players who did not practice, while defensive lineman Quinnen Williams was also limited.
