The Denver Broncos could get several reinforcements coming out of their bye week.
There is hope that wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion), safety Brandon Jones (hamstring), cornerback Riley Moss (concussion) and safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) could return in time for a Week 11 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders
following Denver's bye in Week 10. The status of cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine (ankle) is less certain.Additionally, defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike (shoulder) does not have a season-ending injury, so he is expected to return from injured reserve later this season. Denver running backs Tyler Badie (thumb) and RJ Harvey (knee) are eligible to return from IR in Weeks 12 and 13, respectively. And outside linebacker Jonah Elliss (ankle)
is also eligible to return in Week 12.
Injured Broncos who could return in coming weeks
- WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion)
- RB RJ Harvey (knee)
- RB Tyler Badie (thumb)
- DL Eyioma Uwazurike (shoulder)
- OLB Jonah Elliss (ankle)
- CB Riley Moss (concussion)
- CB Kris Abrams-Draine (ankle)
- S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle)
- S Brandon Jones (hamstring)
In all, that's nine players who could be returning from injuries in the second half of the season, including four starters and several key rotational players. The bye came at a good time for the Broncos.
