Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, coach Nathaniel Hackett announced Friday.
With Sutton unavailable and Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler already on injured reserve, Denver’s top wide receivers against Kansas City will be Jerry Jeudy, Kendall Hinton, Jalen Virgil, Brandon Johnson and Montrell Washington.
Elsewhere on the injury front, tight end/fullback Andrew Beck (hamstring) and linebacker Dakota Allen (hamstring) have also been ruled out.
Meanwhile, defensive lineman D.J. Jones (shoulder), guard Dalton Risner (shoulder/back) and linebacker Justin Strnad (knee) are questionable for Week 14.
If Jones is not cleared to play, the Broncos’ top remaining defensive linemen will be Dre’Mont Jones, DeShawn Williams, Mike Purcell, Matt Henningsen, Jonathan Harris, Eyioma Uwazurike and Elijah Garcia.
Garcia was just signed off the Lois Angeles Rams’ practice squad earlier this week. Denver also has defensive lineman McTelvin Agim available on the practice squad.
Sunday’s game against the Chiefs will begin at 2:05 p.m. MT on CBS (view the TV map here). KC is considered a 9-point favorite on the road.
