The Denver Broncos wrapped up their final day of practice before they head to Las Vegas for Sunday’s divisional showdown with the Raiders.
Denver Broncos DE Zach Allen questionable vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Heading into Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Denver Broncos are hopeful that defensive end Zach Allen will be able to go after he was listed as questionable. Allen was limited during Wednesday’s practice in a non-injury-related designation. He was a full participant on Thursday but was limited on Friday with a heel injury, according to the team’s official report.
He’ll likely work out during pregame to test and see if he’s able to go. If he doesn’t play, Denver will likely start Jordan Jackson at defensive end in his place.
Wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) and outside linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) were both listed as out for Sunday’s game. Reynolds and Sanders’ return windows are closing in as Denver will have to make an eventual decision on whether or not they’ll return this season.
Reynolds seems like a more likely candidate to return than Sanders at this point, considering the Broncos’ outside linebacker depth and their health right now. As long as Denver remains healthy without there being an injury that requires any long-term or short-term IR placement, the Broncos would have to make a procedural roster move to free up a spot on the 53-man roster for Reynolds and/or Sanders to return to the roster.
Safety Brandon Jones (abdomen), safety P.J. Locke (thumb), and offensive guard Ben Powers (shoulder) were full participants on Friday and will play on Sunday against the Raiders.
Powers missed Wednesday’s practice but was limited on Thursday before upgrading to full on Friday.
The Denver Broncos will take on the Las Vegas Raiders on CBS on Sunday at 2:05 p.m. MT.
