The Denver Broncos are in a good spot health-wise going into Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
After missing Thursday’s practice with an illness, Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz was back at practice on Friday and was a full participant and should be good to go against the Eagles.
Outside linebacker Nik Bonitto (wrist), inside linebacker Alex Singleton (thumb), wide receiver Marvin Mims (hip/ankle), and Jonah Elliss (ribs) were all full participants and are cleared to go for Sunday.
Tight end Nate Adkins (concussion) was at practice for the second consecutive day on Friday while going through the NFL’s concussion protocol and was upgraded to being a full participant and will play on Sunday.
Tight end Lucas Krull was not a participant in Friday’s practice, popping up with a foot injury that will hold him out of Sunday’s game. The team could end up putting him on IR, but he will miss Sunday’s game against the Eagles and the Broncos game against the New York Jets in London.
It’s possible the Broncos could use one of their practice squad to gameday elevations on Caleb Lohner or Patrick Murtagh in the event of an emergency at the position.
The team will head to Philadelphia tonight ahead of Sunday’s matchup.
On the Eagles’ side of things, they ruled out linebacker Nakobe Dean, whose 21-day window was recently activated. Tight end Dallas Goedert, defensive tackle Jalen Carter, and offensive tackle Lane Johnson were removed from the Eagles’ injury report, and they will play on Sunday.
Dean hasn’t played a single down this season, but the Eagles linebacker play hasn’t dropped off a single bit with Zach Baun and first-round rookie draft pick Jihaad Campbell playing at a high level.
Sunday’s kickoff is set for 11:00 a.m. MT on CBS. Stay tuned to Mile High Sports tomorrow for a preview of the biggest matchup to watch.
