The Denver Broncos have ruled out three players ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Broncos ruled out safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), outside linebacker Jonah Elliss (ankle) and running back Tyler Badie (thumb). Elliss and Badie might both be candidates to land on short-term injured reserve with RB Jonah Coleman (IR; ankle) and OLB Jonathon Cooper (reinstated) eligible to return to the 53-man roster this weekend. Coleman is officially listed as questionable.
Devon Key started in place of Hufanga last week, but Taylor Rapp ended up getting the most snaps in Hufanga's spot. Rapp will likely be a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster again this week.
Elsewhere on the injury front, cornerback
Pat Surtain (ankle) is listed as questionable while wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (chest) and cornerback Riley Moss (ribs) have been cleared to play.

Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine filled in at cornerback while PS2 and Moss were sidelined. Moss, who fractured his rib cartilage twice this season, told the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson that he's now back to 100%. Surtain's status for Week 7 is less certain.
Sunday's game (2:05 p.m. MT) will be regionally televised on CBS (view the TV broadcast map). Denver is considered a road favorite going into the game.
