Denver Broncos defensive lineman D.J. Jones (knee) was held out of practice Tuesday, putting his status for Thursday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs in doubt.
The Broncos did not practice yesterday, but Jones was also listed as a did not participate on Monday’s estimated injury report.
Elsewhere on the injury front, Denver outside linebacker Barron Browning (knee) is practicing this week and he’s eligible to return from injured reserve. Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) is also eligible to return from IR and he returned to practice on Tuesday.
If the team activates Browning and Dulcich from IR, they will have to make corresponding moves to make room for them on the 53-man roster.
Meanwhile, Denver running back Javonte Williams (quad) missed Sunday’s game, but he’s practicing this week. That seems like a good sign for his chances of returning for Thursday’s game.
In Kansas City, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce practiced Tuesday after suffering an ankle injury on Sunday.
