Denver Broncos outside linebacker Frank Clark is expected to miss “a couple weeks” after suffering a hip injury in Wednesday’s practice, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Clark is not expected to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. After that, he will have a “week-to-week” status going forward.
The 30-year-old pass rusher signed a one-year, $5.51 million contract with the Broncos in June after Baron Browning underwent knee surgery. Browning will be eligible to return from the reserve/physically unable to perform list in Week 5.
While Clark and Browning are sidelined, the team’s top remaining outside linebackers are Randy Gregory, Jonathon Cooper, Nik Bonitto and rookie Thomas Incoom. Denver also has rookie Marcus Haynes available on the practice squad.
Clark served as a rotational pass rusher in the team’s season opener last week, totaling two tackles. The 10th-year veteran has recorded 58.5 sacks in 121 career games, spending time with the Seahawks and Chiefs before joining the Broncos this summer.
