Mile High Report
Some big names on the Denver Broncos injury update for Week 9 as they prepare to take on the Houston Texans. The team decided not to place cornerback Pat Surtain II on injured reserve, so he’ll remain on this injury report for the next several weeks most likely. The other big name is Marvin Mims Jr. who is headed into the concussion protocol. That injury is unpredictable, so it will be something to monitor.
The team also signed the ageless wonder Mercedes Lewis to the practice squad. His primary role will likely be as a blocker and is needed with Nate Adkins working his way back from a knee injury. The other guys on the list look like they are progressing back and Dre Greenlaw is back from his suspension as well.
On the Texans side of things, tight end Dalton Schultz is a name to keep an eye on and wide receiver Nico Collins is in the concussion protocol, but was listed as a limited participant today. He’ll be another guy to watch as the week progresses.
