The Denver Broncos and New York Jets released their second injury report of the week today and it’s not looking good for the Broncos punter. Marquette King missed his second-straight practice and is looking unlikely for Sunday’s game.
King is dealing with a thigh injury that he suffered late during Monday night’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. If he were unable to go, punter Colby Wadman would make his NFL debut with the Broncos.
Head Coach Vance Joseph said he is comfortable with Wadman if King is unable to go for the Broncos.
“He’s been good. He’s obviously a young guy, but he’s got talent and he’s a smart guy. If he had to go for us, I’d be comfortable with Colby.”
The other two players to sit out practice were tackle Jared Veldheer and linebacker Todd Davis. Their participation in Friday’s practice will likely decide their playing status for Sunday’s game, but neither seems likely to go as of now. Look for tackle Billy Turner and rookie linebacker Josey Jewell to get the starts in place of those two.
Another noteworthy injury to keep an eye on is the one to All-Pro linebacker Von Miller. He was once again limited with a thigh injury today. He will be out there Sunday, but it will be interesting to see if he is hampered at all by this thigh injury going forward.
As for the Jets, everything remained the same except for three new additions to their injury report. Defensive backs Darryl Roberts, Trumaine Johnson, and wide receiver Quincy Enumwa were all listed as limited.
