Broncos’ injury report gives update on Riley Moss’ status

The Denver Broncos have released their latest injury report with a status update for cornerback Riley Moss.

Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday’s practice, according to the team’s injury report.

Moss has missed the team’s last three games after injuring his knee against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. Kris Abrams-Draine and Damarri Mathis have filled in for Moss over the last two weeks.

Abrams-Draine has been playing on the outside across from Pat Surtain with Ja’Quan McMillian playing in the slot. If Moss is able to return this week, it will provide a huge boost to Denver’s secondary.

The Broncos will face a talented Cincinnati Bengals offense on Saturday that features Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at wide receiver.

Elsewhere on the injury front, Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) returned to practice on Tuesday, starting his 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

Denver’s complete Tuesday injury report can be seen below.

Player Tue Wed Thur Game Status
RB Tyler Badie (back) Full
WR Troy Franklin (ankle) Full
CB Riley Moss (knee) Full
RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) Limited

The Broncos will practice again on Wednesday (Christmas Day) and Thursday before releasing a final injury report with game statuses for Saturday’s showdown with the Bengals.

Broncos RB Tyler Badie opens window to return from injured reserve

Broncos RB Tyler Badie (back) returned to practice on Tuesday, starting his 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) returned to practice on Tuesday, starting his 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

If Badie is not activated to the 53-man roster within the next three weeks, he will remain on IR for the rest of Denver’s season. The Broncos previously brought back six other players from injury lists this fall.

Earlier this year, pass rusher Baron Browning, offensive tackle, Mike McGlinchey, cornerback Damarri Mathis, running back Audric Estime and center Luke Wattenberg returned from IR. Denver also activated linebacker Drew Sanders from the physically unable to perform list.

The Broncos opted to cut wide receiver Josh Reynolds when his IR window was closing, and the team chose to keep safety Delarrin Turner-Yell on the PUP list for the rest of the season.

Broncos eligible to return from IR

  1. RB Tyler Badie: Deadline to return: Jan. 14

The Broncos also have two players — linebacker Alex Singleton (ACL) and offensive lineman Quinn Bailey (ankle) — who are on season-ending IR.

Broncos on season-ending injured reserve

  1. LB Alex Singleton: Out for season
  2. OL Quinn Bailey: Out for season

NFL teams can have eight players return from IR during a season, and teams who make the playoffs are granted two extra potential returns.

Chiefs injuries: Chris Jones, Jawaan Taylor questionable for matchup vs. Steelers

The #Chiefs may be without Chris Jones and Jawaan Taylor during their Week 17 matchup against the #Steelers on Christmas Day.

The Kansas City Chiefs may be without star defensive lineman Chris Jones in their Week 17 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.

Jones was injured in Kansas City’s win over the Houston Texans on Saturday and was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday after missing drills due to his calf earlier in the week.

Should the Chiefs be without Jones in the starting lineup, veterans Derrick Nnadi and Mike Pennel will be relied on to help stymie the Steelers’ running game and apply pressure to Russell Wilson in the pass rush.

Among other Chiefs players who were given game designations were defensive back Chamarri Conner and offensive lineman D.J. Humphries.

Neither Conner nor Humphries participated in practice this week, and both were listed OUT for Wednesday’s game due to a concussion and hamstring injury, respectively.

Starting right tackle Jawaan Taylor was a limited participant in Kansas City’s practices this week and is listed as questionable due to a lingering knee injury.

Broncos give hopeful update for Riley Moss ahead of Bengals game

Broncos coach Sean Payton is hopeful that CB Riley Moss (knee) might be able to return in time for the Bengals game.

Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss suffered an MCL injury in a 29-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 24. He has missed the team’s three games since then, but there’s hope that he might be able to return against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.

“We were and have been super excited [about Moss this year],” Broncos coach Sean Payton said Monday. “Obviously the guy that plays opposite of Patrick [Surtain] is going to get a lot of business. All throughout training camp, he really rose to the occasion, battled, competed, and throughout really a good portion of the season.

“He’s a big reason why we were playing so well defensively. The sooner the better when we can get him back in the lineup. Hopefully it can happen this weekend.”

Before leaving the Raiders game, Moss totaled four tackles and one pass breakup. He has recorded 71 tackles, eight pass breakups one interception this season.

Kris Abrams-Draine has filled in for Moss over the last two weeks with Damarri Mathis getting rotational snaps. Ja’Quan McMillian continues to play in the slot and Tremon Smith remains a special teams ace. Levi Wallace has been inactive for the last two games.

Steelers’ turnovers and injuries spell disaster in Week 16 loss to Ravens

Injuries and turnovers doomed the Steelers in Week 16, as the Ravens denied them the AFC North title with a 34-17 victory.

Hearts have shattered all throughout the Steel City. With the Pittsburgh Steelers on the cusp of clinching the AFC North, the Baltimore Ravens prevented the Black and Gold from securing the divisional title in Week 16.

The Ravens soundly defeated the Steelers 34-17, with injuries and turnovers playing a huge role throughout the Week 16 contest.

Heading into the matchup, the Pittsburgh Steelers were down several key starters on both sides of the ball: WR George Pickens, SS DeShon Elliott, DT Larry Ogunjobi, and CB Donte Jackson. Black and Gold injuries continued to pile up as the team lost starting CB Joey Porter Jr. and ST/WR Ben Skowronek during the game.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, Russell Wilson’s fumble in the red zone—when he could have easily slid to avoid the big hit—and his costly pick-six all but handed the Ravens the Week 16 victory and potentially the division.

There is little time to correct their mistakes, however, as the Pittsburgh Steelers must now turn their attention to the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day in Week 17.

Is Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown playing today? Injury updates for Chiefs WR

#Chiefs WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown is dealing with a shoulder injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown is returning to action after the Kansas City Chiefs activated him from their injured reserve list this week ahead of a crucial matchup against the Houston Texans.

Here are the latest details on Brown’s status in Week 16:

Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown injury update

Brown recently made his first appearance at practice since August.

He was placed on the Chiefs’ injured reserve list due to a shoulder injury he sustained on the first drive of Kansas City’s first preseason game.

Brown fully participated in all of the Chiefs’ practice sessions heading into Saturday’s game and will make his regular-season debut in Kansas City this afternoon.

How long will Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown be out?

After surgery and months of recovery, Brown is ready to make his return to the field. It is unclear what head coach Andy Reid’s plans are regarding Brown’s playing time.

Chiefs WR depth chart

Brown is expected to be present today alongside DeAndre Hopkins, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Xavier Worthy, and Justin Watson.

Broncos WR Troy Franklin was in a walking boot after ‘TNF’ loss

Broncos WR Troy Franklin was spotted wearing a walking boot after a ‘Thursday Night Football’ loss to the Chargers.

Following the Denver Broncos‘ 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football, rookie wide receiver Troy Franklin was spotted wearing a walking boot on his left foot, according to a report from the Denver Post‘s Ryan McFadden.

Franklin was not given an injury designation during the game and the Broncos will not practice again until next week, so it might be several days until we get an update on Franklin’s status.

The 21-year-old receiver hauled in two receptions for 25 yards on three targets against the Chargers. Franklin now has 25 catches for 252 yards and two touchdowns through his first 14 games in the NFL.

Denver released veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds earlier this month, so if Franklin misses any time, the team’s remaining WRs would be Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Marvin Mims. The Broncos also have Michael Bandy, David Sills and A.T. Perry available on the practice squad.

Broncos inactives: 7 players won’t play on ‘TNF’

Broncos inactives: Zach Wilson, CB Riley Moss, RB Jaleel McLaughlin, CB Levi Wallace, LB Levelle Bailey, OT Frank Crum, DL Matt Henningsen.

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for a Thursday Night Football clash with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season.

The Broncos’ inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, cornerback Riley Moss (knee), running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quad), cornerback Levi Wallace, linebacker Levelle Bailey, offensive tackle Frank Crum and defensive lineman Matt Henningsen.

*Technically, Wilson is still available to play as the team’s emergency third-string quarterback behind starter Bo Nix and primary backup Jarrett Stidham, but he’s on the inactive list and does not count against the game-day roster. Wilson can play if both Nix and Stidham are injured.

With the exception of Wilson, these inactive players are members of the 53-man roster who are not eligible to play against the Chargers. They will be reactivated on Monday.

Broncos inactives vs. Chargers

  1. QB Zach Wilson (*emergency third QB)
  2. CB Riley Moss (knee)
  3. RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quad)
  4. CB Levi Wallace 
  5. LB Levelle Bailey 
  6. OT Frank Crum
  7. DL Matt Henningsen

Thursday’s game will be available to stream on Prime. The Broncos are one win away from clinching a spot in the 2024 NFL playoffs.

Is Riley Moss playing today? Injury updates for Broncos CB

Broncos cornerback Riley Moss (knee) won’t play against the Chargers on ‘Thursday Night Football.’

Denver Broncos second-year cornerback Riley Moss went down with a knee injury against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 and he did not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13 or against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 after Denver’s bye week. Here are the latest on Moss’ MCL status going into Week 16.

Riley Moss injury update

Moss has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, so he won’t suit up today. The Broncos held two walk-through practices this week and Moss was listed as an estimated limited participant on Tuesday, which is a step in the right direction after he did not participate in practice two weeks ago.

How long will Riley Moss be out?

After the Raiders game, Broncos coach Sean Payton said the injury “wasn’t really serious,” but the cornerback has now missed three games. Perhaps the coach meant it wasn’t as serious as it could have been. After facing the Chargers on Thursday, Denver will have nine days before their next game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17, a Saturday afternoon game. With extra rest following a TNF game, Moss might be a candidate to return to action against the Bengals.

Broncos cornerback depth chart

Last week, rookie Kris Abrams-Draine filled in for Moss with Damarri Mathis getting rotational snaps. Abrams-Draine will likely start across from Pat Surtaon on Thursday with Ja’Quan McMillian playing in the slot. The Broncos also have special teams ace Tremon Smith and veteran Levi Wallace providing additional depth at cornerback.
