Denver linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) have been eligible to return from the PUP list since Week 5, but they apparently still need more time to recover.

Broncos could have multiple players return from injured reserve this week

The bad news: Broncos have a short week. Good news: Denver has several players eligible to return from injured reserve ahead of TNF.

Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime (ankle) returned from injured reserve last week and more reinforcements could be on the way this week.

The Broncos will have a short week ahead of a Thursday Night Football showdown with the New Orleans Saints, but the list of players eligible to return from IR ahead of Week 7 includes right tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL), outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) and cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle).

If healthy, McGlinchey will immediately return to starting at right tackle. Mathis could be returning just in time to provide more depth at cornerback after star Pat Surtain suffered a concussion on Sunday.

Broncos linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) have been eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list since Week 5, but they might need more time to recover.

Denver running back Tyler Badie (back) will be eligible to return in Week 9. Center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) are eligible to return in Week 10.

Going into Week 5, the Broncos have seven players on injured reserve and two players on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.

The Denver Broncos have nine players on injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list going into Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Seven of those players will be eligible to return later this season.

Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) was eligible to return from IR this week, and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) were eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 5. All three players apparently need more time to recover.

Denver running back Audric Estime (ankle) will be eligible to return next week, and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL) and outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) can return in Week 7.

After being placed on IR on Saturday, running back Tyler Badie (back) will be eligible to return in Week 9.

Broncos could begin getting reinforcements from IR this week

The Broncos will have six players eligible to return from IR/PUP over the next three weeks, including CB Damarri Mathis this week.

Following the Denver Broncos‘ win over the New York Jets on Sunday, running back Javonte Williams noted that the team has “a lot of players returning” in the coming weeks. Who are those players?

The Broncos have four players on injured reserve and two players on the reserve/physically unable to perform list who could return later this season.

Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) is eligible to return in Week 5 after spending the first four games of the season on IR. It remains to be seen if Mathis has fully recovered, but Denver could have him back on the field against the Las Vegas Raiders this week.

Broncos outside linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) are also eligible to return this week. Note that we emphasized eligible because both Sanders and Turner-Yell probably need more time to recover from their respective injuries.

Denver running back Audric Estime (ankle) will be eligible to return in Week 6, and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL) and outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) will be eligible to return in Week 7.

Broncos eligible to return from IR/PUP

Broncos release final injury report for Week 1 game vs. Seahawks

The Broncos are in good health going into their Week 1 showdown with the Seahawks.

The Denver Broncos are in good health going into their season-opening clash with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon.

The Broncos posted blank injury reports on Wednesday and Thursday as every player on the 53-man roster fully participated in practice. That trend continued on Friday as Denver released a clean practice report without any game statuses — everyone is cleared to play in Week 1.

Just to reiterate the point, here is the Broncos’ final injury report:

Player Injury Wed Thur Fri Game Status
— — — — — —
— — — — — —

Denver, of course, does have a few players sidelined who are not on the 53-man roster. Three of those players — cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle), linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) — will be eligible to return from IR/PUP after four games.

Sunday’s game between the Broncos and Seahawks will be regionally televised on CBS and available to stream on fuboTV (try it free). Denver is considered a 5.5-point underdog on the road.

Broncos post another blank injury report Thursday

The Broncos posted blank injury reports on Wednesday and Thursday. Every player on the 53-man roster is healthy.

The Denver Broncos remain in good health going into their Week 1 showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.

After posting a blank injury report on Wednesday, Denver had perfect participation again at Thursday’s practice, an unusual occurrence in the NFL.

Broncos safety Brandon Jones missed most of training camp while dealing with a hamstring injury, but coach Sean Payton gave a positive report on the defensive back’s health after Wednesday’s practice.

“Good,” Payton said when asked how Jones looked. “He was good moving out there today. He’s feeling well. His testing numbers and all the metrics that come back relative to it are going well.”

Here’s a look at the team’s injury report from Thursday:

Player Injury Wed Thur Fri Game Status

Denver, of course, does have a few players sidelined who are not on the 53-man roster. Three of those players — cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle), linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) — will be eligible to return from IR/PUP after four games.

The Broncos will practice again on Friday before releasing a final injury report with game statuses for Sunday.

Broncos have 5 players on IR/PUP lists going into 2024 season

The Broncos have five players on injured reserve and PUP lists going into the 2024 season.

The Denver Broncos have three players on injured reserve and two players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list going into the 2024 season.

The Broncos have two players — offensive tackle Quinn Bailey (ankle) and pass rusher Ronnie Perkins (undisclosed) — on the season-ending IR list. They are out for the entire season.

Denver also has a third player — cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) — on the short-term IR list. He is eligible to return after four games.

Last week, the Broncos also waived pass rusher Durell Nchami (hamstring) with an injury designation. Nchami cleared waivers so he should have reverted to Denver’s IR list, but he is not listed on the team’s official website. Either that is an oversight or the Broncos reached an injury settlement with Nchami and released him from IR.

Finally, Denver has two players — linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) — on the PUP list. They are eligible to return after four games, but they might need more time to recover.

Broncos place 2 players on reserve/PUP list

The Broncos are moving DB Delarrin Turner-Yell and LB Drew Sanders to the reserve/PUP list, ruling them out for at least 4 games.

The Denver Broncos have informed safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) that they will be moved to the reserve/physically unable perform list today, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Turner-Yell and Sanders spent all of training camp and preseason on the active/PUP list. With the Broncos setting a 53-man roster today, the two players are being moved to reserve/PUP and they will not count against the active roster.

Turner-Yell and Sanders will have to sit out at least the first four games of the 2024 season before being eligible to return. After four weeks, the players will have a five-week window to return to practice. Once they return to practice, there will be a 21-day window to return to the active roster.

If the players miss either of the five-week or 21-day windows, they will remain on reserve for the entire season. Health permitting, Turner-Yell and Sanders could both return to action later this fall.

Denver will also place pass rusher Durrell Nchami on “some sort of IR” list today, according to Klis. If it’s short-term injured reserve, Nchami will be eligible to return after four games.

Broncos expected to place 2 players on reserve/PUP list

The Broncos are expected to place Drew Sanders and Delarrin Turner-Yell on the reserve/PUP list, ruling them out for at least four games.

As the Denver Broncos begin trimming the 91-player squad down to a 53-man roster, two roster moves should be easy decisions.

The Broncos are expected to move linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) from the active/physically unable to perform list to the reserve/PUP list. Sanders and Turner-Yell won’t count against the 53-man roster once moved to the reserve list.

Sanders and Turner-Yell were on the active/PUP list for all of training camp while rehabbing from their respective 2023 injuries. PUP players who are not cleared in time for the regular season are moved to the reserve list.

Sanders and Turner-Yell will be required to sit out the first four games of the 2024 season. After that, they will have a five-week window to return to practice. Once they begin practicing, PUP players have a 21-day window to return to the active roster.

If the five-week or 21-day windows pass without the player being activated, he will spend the entire season on reserve.
