Broncos DT Zach Allen and S Brandon Jones are active for today's game against the Chiefs. Both guys entered the day questionable but appear ready to use as planned in IDP lineups.

Broncos CBs Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss each left Sunday's loss to the 49ers with an injury. Surtain's ankle is expected to keep him out "about two weeks," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Testing on Moss has determined that he didn't fracture his rib and that the injury is "not long term," according to Mike Klis of KUSA-TV. It's not yet clear how long he'll be out, though.

The Broncos on Monday placed S Brandon Jones on IR with a pectoral injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Packers. With just three regular-season games left, that obviously knocks Jones out until at least the playoffs.

Broncos LB Alex Singleton revealed to teammates Monday that he had surgery Friday to remove a cancerous testicular tumor. It's not yet clear how much time he'll miss, but he says the outlook is good. Singleton said the diagnosis came within the past couple of weeks after the NFL's random drug-testing program detected elevated levels of the hormone hcG. A follow-up with a urologist found the cancerous growth.

The league on Monday suspended Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw one game for comments he directed at referee Brad Allen right after Denver's game-winning FG Sunday against the Giants. Greenlaw reportedly plans to appeal and has three days to do so.

Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw is active for today's game against the Giants. Denver activated him from IR Saturday. The veteran has yet to play this season -- his first with the Broncos -- because of a nagging quad injury that originated in April. DC Vance Joseph said Greenlaw would open in a "part-time" role. We'll see exactly how much playing time that means and how quickly Denver wants to ramp him up. But he's not an IDP option for this week.

The Broncos have opened the 21-day practice window for LB Dre Greenlaw, who spent the past four weeks on IR for a nagging quad injury. That gives the team three weeks to either activate Greenlaw or put him on season-ending IR.

The Broncos have ruled LB Dre Greenlaw out for Sunday's game against the Titans. That's not a surprise after Greenlaw missed practice all week. It appears Greenlaw has had a setback with the quad he injured back in April.

The Broncos are finally getting LBs Dre Greenlaw and Alex Singleton on the field together after varied injury issues for both players. Greenlaw -- who signed with Denver in free agency -- sustained an offseason quad injury that lingered into training camp. HC Sean Payton said the team has been "careful" with Greenlaw's practice participation as he dealt with scar tissue from the quad injury. Singleton, meanwhile, came off an ACL tear that ended his 2024 season in Week 3. He made it back for the start of camp but broke his right thumb on July 28 and needed surgery.

Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw recently suffered a quad tear during a workout, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan. Greenlaw could miss "a substantial portion" of the season, with at least a chance he misses the whole thing. Greenlaw signed with Denver in free agency this offseason.

The Broncos landed LB Dre Greenlaw in free agency with a three-year, $31.5 million deal. That positions him as Denver's highest-paid LB and marked a noteworthy investment into a 28-year-old (on May 25) who missed nearly all of last season coming off his Achilles' tear in the Super Bowl. The 49ers reportedly made a late push to retain Greenlaw. Instead, his move shakes up two LB groups.

The Titans have agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal with LB Cody Barton, NFL Network reports. That should install the former Bronco as the starter next to LB Kenneth Murray, unless Tennessee decides to dump him ahead of the second year on his contract.

Broncos S Brandon Jones is inactive for today's game against the Falcons.

Broncos CB Pat Surtain II left Sunday's game agains the Chargers with a concussion. He entered the week outside the top 70 DBs in fantasy points per game, so there's not much IDP impact here. But missing their lead corner obviously hurts a Denver team D that has ranked among the best in fantasy so far. His absence would help Saints WRs in their Week 7 matchup if Surtain remains out. Of course, Chris Olave sustained a concussion Sunday as well. We'll see about both situations as the week goes on.

Broncos LB Alex Singleton suffered a torn left ACL in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. HC Sean Payton had to confirm the injury after practice Wednesday because Singleton played through it for the rest of the game. The LB later reported soreness, and MRI confirmed the tear. He'll miss the rest of the season. Denver has Cody Barton, Justin Strnad, and Kristian Welch on the roster at non-edge LB. The Broncos also signed LBs Kwon Alexander and Zach Cunningham to the practice squad Wednesday. Barton is the best early bet to lead the group in playing time but is far from a sure thing to maintain that role the rest of the way.

Broncos S Brandon Jones missed much of training camp with a hamstring injury and didn't play in any of the team's three preseason contests. But he said after Sunday's finale that he "should be ready" for the regular-season opener, according to the Denver Gazette. Jones returned to practice last week after sustaining his injury on the first day of camp.

Broncos Edge Baron Browning missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a concussion. That makes him look likely to miss Sunday's game against the Chargers. Fortunately for Denver, Edge Nik Bonitto appears to be trending toward returning after missing the past two games. he followed a limited Wednesday workout with a full practice Thursday. Missing Browning won't be good, but the swap shouldn't mean a significant difference for the Broncos team defense in a high-upside matchup with Easton Stick and the Chargers.

The Texans have claimed S Kareem Jackson off waivers from the Broncos. Denver dumped the twice-suspended veteran, opting to continue with P.J. Locke next to S Justin Simmons. Jackson could see immediate time for a Houston defense that lost Jimmie Ward to a quad injury against the Browns. It's not yet clear how long Ward will be out. We'll watch for specifics on Jackson's Week 17 role.
