Kendall Hinton - Absent for another practice Hinton (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Impact For the second day in a row, the Broncos were missing two of their top three receivers due to hamstring injuries, as Courtland Sutton also sat out. Considering Sutton was withheld from last week's loss to the Chiefs while Hinton played 59 snaps in the contest, the latter may have better odds of suiting up this Sunday against the Cardinals. Before the Broncos decide on either wideout's status for the Week 15 games, they'll see if Sutton and Hinton can log some sort of practice activity Friday.

Courtland Sutton - Still not practicing Sutton (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Impact Before giving Sutton a designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, the Broncos will wait and see if the receiver can log any reps during their final Week 15 practice Friday. However, with Sutton having sat out last week's loss to the Chiefs and not practicing in any fashion yet this week, his chances of suiting up versus Arizona don't seem promising. In addition to Sutton, the Broncos could be down another key receiver in Kendall Hinton, who also sat out for the second day in a row Thursday due to a hamstring injury.

NFL odds Week 15: Betting edges on Falcons-Saints, Lions-Jets, more
Gambling expert Warren Sharp analyzes the odds and gives you his sharpest edges for key games in the Week 15 NFL slate.DECEMBER 15, 2022
Russell Wilson - Will be limited Thursday Wilson (concussion) is slated to practice in a limited fashion Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Wilson didn't practice Wednesday, so the QB's looming limited participation Thursday is a step in the right direction for him in advance of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. However, the signal-caller will need to progress fully through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to gain clearance to play this weekend. If that doesn't happen, Brett Rypien would be in line to fill in for Wilson in Week 15.
DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Billy Turner - Readying to return from IR Turner (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Turner has been sidelined on IR since suffering a knee injury Week 10 against Tennessee. The right tackle will now have a 21-day window to return to practice before he has to be restored to the active roster, or else he'll revert to IR for the rest of the season. Turner's first chance to suit up again will come Sunday versus Arizona.
DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Beck - Limited participant Wednesday Beck (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Beck has been sidelined in four of Denver's past five games while dealing with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old will now have two more opportunities to increase his activity before Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Beck has primarily played on special teams this season, and his main offensive contributions should come as a blocker out of the backfield when he's healthy moving forward.
DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dakota Allen - Logs limited practice Wednesday Allen (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Allen sustained a hamstring injury during his first game with Denver in Week 12, and he has been sidelined the past two weeks as a result. However, it appears the 27-year-old could be trending toward a return heading into Sunday's game against Arizona. Allen has exclusively played on special teams in five games between Cleveland and Denver this season.

Russell Wilson OK for individual drills but misses practice
Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson stretched and tossed some passes on the field before team drills at practice WednesdayDECEMBER 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brandon McManus - Limited by quad injury McManus (quadriceps) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact McManus is back on the injury report to start Week 15 prep, just like he was one week ago. He ultimately suited up in the Broncos' loss to the Chiefs and made all four of point-after tries. Barring a setback, McManus should be cleared to play in this Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Randy Gregory - Designated to return from IR The Broncos designated Gregory (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Impact Gregory suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee that needed surgery during Week 4 and has been on injured reserve since. However, he appears to be nearing a return to action and will practice Wednesday, which begins a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dre'Mont Jones - Missing practice with hip injury Jones (hip) missed practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Arizona, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact It's a new injury for Jones, who has yet to miss a game in 2022. The 25-year-old defensive end is also in the midst of a season in which he's already set career-highs in tackles (47) and sacks (6.5), so any time he misses would constitute a significant blow to Denver's defense.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kendall Hinton - Not at practice Hinton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Hinton injured his hamstring late in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs. He's mostly been a full-time play for the Broncos recently, with Jerry Jeudy and then Courtland Sutton (hamstring) missing time due to injuries. Sutton and Russell Wilson (concussion) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving Brett Rypien to throw passes to WRs Jeudy, Brandon Johnson, Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and Freddie Swain.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Martin - Heads to IR, out for season Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wednesday that Martin (knee) will go on injured reserve, ending his 2022 campaign, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Hackett sustained the knee issue during the Broncos' Week 14 loss to Kansas City and will miss the final four games of the regular season after being placed on injured reserve. The fifth-year linebacker made 13 total appearances (five with Denver and eight with the Jets) during the 2022 campaign and complied 14 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Courtland Sutton - Missing another practice Sutton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact Sutton missed Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs in which Jerry Jeudy scored a trio of touchdowns. QB Russell Wilson suffered a concussion during the contest and isn't practicing Wednesday, but he might still make it back before Sutton.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Russell Wilson - Not practicing Wilson (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Neither will WR Courtland Sutton, who missed Sunday's loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring injury, per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News. Renck also notes that Wilson is doing some form of physical activity, which suggests he's making progress in the concussion protocol even if he isn't ready to practice. The Broncos will turn to Brett Rypien under center if Wilson isn't ready for Sunday's matchup with Arizona.

Alex Singleton - Maintains strong production Singleton recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Impact It was far from Singleton's most productive day of the season, but the 29-year-old continues to rack up strong production on a week-to-week basis. He now has 114 total tackles on the season, which is good for ninth in the league. An impressive feat considering his lack of snaps for multiple weeks of the season. He'll look to continue piling on the production Week 15 against the Cardinals.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Freddie Swain - Finds new home Swain was signed off the Dolphins' practice by the Broncos on Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact Swain will reunite with former Seahawks teammate Russell Wilson, as Courtland Sutton and Kendall Hinton are both dealing with hamstring injuries. The 24-year-old suited up Sunday for Miami against the Chargers, which was his first appearance of the season. It's not yet clear if Sutton and Hinton's status for Sunday's game with the Cardinals will impact whether he is active or not for the game.

Mike Boone - Goes on IR, season over The Broncos placed Boone (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Boone will miss Denver's final four games of the season while he heads to IR for a second time, with both stints being the result of high-ankle sprains. He returned from his first five-week stay on IR in Week 13, lasting just two games before injuring the ankle again. Boone, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, will conclude the 2022 campaign with 24 carries for 102 yards and nine catches for 96 yards on 15 targets over his nine appearances. Denver is now left with Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack as the lone backs on its 53-man roster.
