Broncos LB Baron Browning left Sunday's loss to the Eagles early with a back injury. Browning showed up on Thursday's injury report with a back issue that kept him out and then limited his Friday participation. HC Vic Fangio said after the game that he aggravated the existing back issue, according to the team website.

Broncos OLB Malik Reed (hip), CB Patrick Surtain II (knee), LB Baron Browning (back) and DE Shelby Harris (illness) are active for today's game against the Eagles. All entered the day questionable.

Broncos LB Baron Browning (back), OLB Malik Reed (hip), CB Patrick Surtain II (knee) and DE Shelby Harris (illness) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. HC Vic Fangio said Friday that he felt "good" about Browning's chances of playing. Browning popped up on the injury report Thursday, missing practice. But he returned for limited participation Friday. Harris returned for a limited Friday workout after missing the 1st 2 days and seems to be trending toward playing. Reed managed limited practices Thursday and Friday after sustaining his injury late in the Week 9 practice run and missing the win at Dallas. Surtain returned to a limited Friday practice, and Fangio said he'd need to look back over the tape of Surtain's practice to determine his status.

Broncos rookie CB Patrick Surtain II is expected to miss multiple games after suffering a knee sprain in Sunday's win at Dallas, ESPN reports. Kyle Fuller and Ronald Darby figure to be the Denver's top 2 CBs while Surtain is out.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Broncos are trading OLB Von Miller to the Rams for a pair fo 2nd-day draft picks. Miller missed Sunday's game against Washington with an ankle injury, but this move clearly indicates that the Rams aren't too worried about that issue going forward. With the Rams, Miller should immediately take over the starting job opposite Leonard Floyd, which had been manned by a committee. Denver started Malik Reed and Jonathon Cooper at the EDGE spots vs. Washington on Sunday and figure to roll with that duo until Bradley Chubb returns from IR. It's an obvious upgrade for a Rams team D that has already been strong in fantasy, and a downgrade for a Broncos unit that has fallen way off vs. its positive start to the year.

Broncos EDGE Von Miller (ankle) is inactive for today's game against Washington. That leaves a struggling Denver defense without 1 of its top players.

Broncos OLB Von Miller (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington. He missed practice all week, though, despite the longer break after playing Thursday night in Week 7. It was reported after he got hurt in Cleveland that Miller appeared likely to miss team. We'd try to not use him in IDP lineups this week even if active.

Broncos OLB Von Miller hurt his left ankle in the 1st half of Thursday night's game against the Browns. He's questionable to return.

Update: The team has now ruled Miller out for the game.

Broncos S Kareem Jackson (back) is active for today’s game against the Raiders

Broncos S Kareem Jackson (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. We'll check his status Sunday afternoon.

Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II is active for today's game against the Steelers. CB Ronald Darby -- who came off IR Saturday -- is inactive.

The Broncos activated CB Ronald Darby from IR Saturday, making him eligible to play Sunday at Pittsburgh. The team said earlier in the week that if Darby returned, he would play limited Week 5 snaps. Expect that role to grow beyond Sunday’s game, though

Broncos D-linemen Dre'Mont Jones (calf) and Shelby Harris (wrist, illness) are active for today's game against the Ravens.

Broncos DL Dre'Mont Jones (calf) and Shelby Harris (wrist, illness) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. We'll check their statuses Sunday afternoon, but neither is a high-profile IDP option.

Broncos OLB Bradley Chubb had surgery Wednesday to remove a bone spur from his left ankle. He's expected to need 7-8 weeks to recover but plans to play again this season. While he's on IR, expect Malik Reed to get primary playing time opposite Von Miller. Reed is an upside matchup play for sack-friendly IDP scoring formats while he's in the lineup.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Broncos LB Josey Jewell tore a pectoral muscle in Sunday's win over the Jaguars and will miss the rest of the season. That let's Justin Strnad step into the starting lineup and makes him a deep-league option for IDP rosters. Alexander Johnson, meanwhile, should see his scoring floor rise as a better bet to lead the position in playing time.

Broncos OLB Bradley Chubb (ankle) is active for today's game against the Jaguars. Don't be surprised, though, if his snaps are limited in his 1st action of the season.
