The Denver Broncos are relatively healthy going into Sunday’s afternoon showdown against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. Only one player has been ruled out for Denver for Sunday’s game and everybody else will play.
Denver Broncos final injury report vs. New York Jets
From an injury standpoint, the Denver Broncos have three current starters on injured reserve. Two of them, Mike McGlinchey and Baron Browning, are expected to return here this season, while Alex Singleton will miss the remainder of the year with a torn ACL.
Going into Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at Metlife Stadium, a place that many players have expressed longstanding concerns about the field surface and condition, Denver will only be without one player on their active roster.
JL Skinner will miss Sunday’s game. He suffered an ankle injury in the Broncos Week 2 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers and returned to the game, but he missed practice all of last week and all of this week and will not play for the second consecutive week. Skinner has become one of Denver’s top young special teams players early on, and it’s possible that Tanner McCalister will receive the practice squad to gameday roster elevation for the second consecutive week in his place.
Wide receiver Josh Reynolds has been dealing with Achilles tendon soreness since training camp and was limited on Wednesday, but upgraded to fully participating during Thursday and Friday’s practices in West Virginia as the team nears the conclusion of their East Coast road trip. He will play against the Jets on Sunday.
Tight end Nate Adkins was battling a shoulder injury all throughout the week and was limited on Wednesday and Thursday’s practices but upgraded to full participation on Friday. He caught a pass last Sunday in Denver’s win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and played 64% of the team’s special teams snaps and 37% of their offensive snaps. He’ll be good to go for Sunday’s game against New York.
The Jets have ruled out offensive tackle Morgan Moses, and rookie first-round draft pick Olu Fashanu will start in his place. Linebacker C.J. Mosely is considered doubtful with a toe injury.
Kickoff is slated for 11:00 a.m. MT on Sunday morning on CBS. Stay tuned for three matchups to watch for in Sunday’s game tomorrow morning on MHS.
