Broncos injuries: Bryce Callahan likely headed for injured reserve

The Broncos are expected to place cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) on injured reserve, ending his season.

After cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) missed practice again Thursday, Broncos coach Vic Fangio said “it’s looking more and more” likely that the defensive back will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

Callahan, 28, signed a three-year, $21 million contract with Denver in March. He has been sidelined with a foot injury all season.

Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hand) is expected to be activated from injured reserve to the 53-man roster this week and Denver will have to make a corresponding move to make room for him on the roster. The team might place Callahan on IR to create Patrick’s roster spot.
