Broncos injuries: Baron Browning did not practice Wednesday

Broncos OLB Baron Browning (foot) did not practice Wednesday, and the team added depth at his position this week.

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) was among four players held out of Wednesday’s practice.

Also sidelined were safety Brandon Jones (foot), defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (concussion) and safety JL Skinner (ankle).

Franklin-Myers has a “50-50” chance of playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week after suffering a “mild concussion” in Week 2, according to the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson. Eyioma Uwazurike is listed behind JFM on the depth chart, but Jordan Jackson and Malcolm Roach would be more likely candidates to fill in if needed.

The Broncos promoted outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman to the active roster and signed Andrew Farmer to the practice squad on Wednesday, moves that might signal Browning’s status for Week 3 is in doubt.
