Five Broncos players — guard Ron Leary (concussion), defensive end DeMarcus Walker (ankle), offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James (knee), defensive end Adam Gotsis (knee) and guard Dalton Risner (illness) — were held out of practice Wednesday.

Leary and James were both inactive last week and coach Vic Fangio indicated before practice Wednesday that they might be held out again on Sunday.

Kansas City’s inactives list can be seen below:

 

The Chiefs have already clinched the AFC West but the Broncos are within reach of the playoffs. Denver will have a chance to claim the AFC’s sixth seed by finishing the year 3-0 and getting some help from other teams.

To finish the year 3-0, the Broncos will have to start by beating Kansas City, something they haven’t done in eight games. Denver is considered a 9.5-point underdog on the road.
