One of the hallmarks of the Denver Broncos’ current 6-1 run has been the team’s ability to stay healthy.
Staving off the injury bug isn’t easy in the NFL, especially since the schedule increased to a 17-game regular season.
The changes and hirings that head coach Sean Payton made in Denver have made a world of difference. However, no team is completely impervious to the vagaries of that virulent bug, and if the Broncos are going to continue to stay alive in the AFC playoff gauntlet, they’ll need that injury good fortune to continue
Against the Detroit Lions this week, though, the Broncos will be without a key player who’s contributed mightily to the team’s turnaround. While that stings, the ruled-out player in question is expected to return soon, which is a vast departure from the who’s who list of starters that have stacked up on Denver’s injured reserve by December in the recent past.
Meanwhile, the Lions, despite losing two of their last three games, are mostly healthy entering Week 15. Let’s dive into the final Broncos-Lions injury report for Saturday night’s tilt at Ford Field.
