Denver Broncos safety JL Skinner (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday, marking the fifth straight practice he has been held out dating back to last week. Barring a quick recovery turnaround, the safety seems unlikely to play against the New York Jets on Sunday.
Elsewhere on the injury report, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins (shoulder) was limited Thursday and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) was upgraded to a full participant.
The Broncos elevated safety Tanner McCalister from the practice squad to the game-day roster when Skinner was ruled out last week. If Skinner is not able to play against the Jets, McCalister will likely be a candidate to get called up again in Week 4.
