Jaylen Waddle, Zach Allen, Garett Bolles, and Brandon Jones are officially active for the Broncos today, a massive relief for a squad that had them listed as questionable. This is a huge boost, especially with kickoff looming, bringing back some serious talent to the field.
The Questionable Crew Is Ready To Roll
For real, the Broncos are getting some serious firepower back. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, safety Brandon Jones, defensive lineman Zach Allen, and left tackle Garett Bolles were all on the injury report, limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday with various dings like Waddle’s ankle, Jones’ hamstring, Allen’s hamstring, and Bolles’ hip. But they are all officially good to go. That’s a bullet dodged and a whole lot of talent back in the lineup. You love to see it when the guys push through and get back out there.
Surtain II Makes His Return
And hold up, there’s more. Cornerback Pat Surtain II is also officially active! This is huge. The dude hasn’t played since Week 4 when he picked up an ankle injury. Getting him back on the field changes things dramatically for their secondary. It’s one thing to get your questionable guys through, but to bring back a star who’s been out for weeks? That’s a statement.
Who’s Sitting Out For Broncos And Chiefs
Of course, not everyone can suit up. The Broncos’ inactives for today include quarterback Sam Ehlinger, safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), offensive linemen Gavin Ortega and Kage Casey, tight end Dallen Bentley, and defensive linemen Jordan Jackson and Tyler Onyedim. Over on the Chiefs’ side, they’ll be without cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder), quarterback Garrett Nussmeier (listed as the emergency, third QB), offensive tackle Diego Pounds, defensive end Jack Pyburn, fullback Ben VanSumeren, and defensive end Tyreke Smith.
With so many key players, especially Surtain II, back on the field, the Broncos are clearly coming into this game ready to absolutely go off. You know they’re looking to make a massive statement today, and with this lineup, they’ve got every chance to do it. It’s officially go time!
