Broncos release Friday injury report: Starting safety questionable for Sunday

Broncos safety Brandon Jones (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons.

Denver Broncos safety Brandon Jones (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons after being limited in all three days of practice this week.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said “hopefully he’s ready” when asked about Jones after Friday’s practice.

Elsewhere on the injury front, wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger), safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) all fully participated in practice this week but they have been ruled out for Sunday.

Reynolds is eligible to return from injured reserve and Turner-Yell and Sanders are eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list. The Broncos will need to open up roster spots when those three players are activated, but it won’t happen this week.

Meanwhile, the Falcons have a long injury report with eight players ruled out this week.

The Broncos’ complete Friday injury report can be seen below.
