Melvin Gordon III - Finds way to end zone Gordon rushed the ball nine times for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars. He added three receptions for 23 yards.
Impact Latavius Murray led the Denver backfield with 15 touches compared to Gordon's 12. However, Gordon still managed a productive fantasy performance thanks to a one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter. He has now failed to reach 35 rushing yards in five of his last six games and continues to lose work to Murray.

Russell Wilson - Shows improved efficiency Wilson completed 18 of 30 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars. He added four rushes for 17 yards.
Impact In contrast to Denver's Week 6 loss, Wilson got off to a slow start in Sunday's win, as he had 19 passing yards and an interception through the team's first three offensive possessions. However, he managed to effectively distribute the ball from there, particularly to Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich while also finding KJ Hamler for a 47-yard gain to set up the game-winning touchdown. Wilson has still managed multiple touchdowns in a game only once this season, but he managed 8.4 yards per attempt -- his second-highest mark of the campaign.

Jerry Jeudy - Tallies third touchdown Jeudy recorded six receptions on seven targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Even with Russell Wilson back under center, Jeudy out-performed Courtland Sutton by a significant margin. Jeudy was used primarily in the short areas of the field, though he did manage a reception of 25 yards and a six-yard touchdown -- his third of the season. He has now topped 50 receiving yards in five consecutive games and has emerged as a reliable producer.

Lloyd Cushenberry III - Won't return Sunday Cushenberry (hip) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Cushenberry sustained an apparent hip injury late in the second quarter Sunday, and he isn't expected to return for the rest of the game. Graham Glasgow is slated to operate as the team's center while Cushenberry remains sidelined.

Lloyd Cushenberry III - Suffers hip injury Sunday Cushenberry is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a hip injury.
Impact Cushenberry suffered a hip injury late in the second quarter of Sunday's contest and walked off gingerly with the training staff. Graham Glasgow replaced Cushenberry at center for the remainder of the first half.

Russell Wilson - Active for Sunday's game Wilson (hamstring) is officially listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact The QB approached the contest minus an injury designation after practicing fully Friday and is in uniform Sunday. Wilson is thus on track to draw the start the start versus Jacksonville in London after sitting out Denver's 16-9 loss to the Jets in Week 7.

Albert Okwuegbunam - Inactive for third straight game Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Okwuegbunam will be a healthy scratch for the third game in a row, and he'll likely continue to find himself outside of Denver's offensive game plans for the foreseeable future with rookie third-round pick Greg Dulcich having taking over as the Broncos' top tight end. Because he offers limited utility as a blocker or on special teams, Okwuegbunam also finds himself behind Eric Tomlinson, Andrew Beck and Eric Saubert on the depth chart. The 24-year-old Okwuegbunam could surely benefit from a change of scenery, and he could be a candidate to get dealt ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline if the Broncos find a suitor in need of a tight end with some pass-catching upside.

Marlon Mack - Not playing Week 8 Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Though Mike Boone's (ankle) recent move to injured reserve opens up a spot for a third running back in Denver, Mack looks like he'll have to wait until after a Week 9 bye to make his Broncos debut after he was signed off the 49ers' practice squad Monday. Mack's lack of utility on special teams may have been a factor in him sitting out in London, as the Broncos are opting to keep Devine Ozigbo active in London as the No. 3 option behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray.
OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devine Ozigbo - Signed to active roster Denver signed Ozigbo from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact Ozigbo was elevated from the practice squad for Week 5 and played primarily on special teams, garnering one rush attempt for two yards across two offensive snaps. With Mike Boone (ankle) and Javonte Williams (knee) on IR, Ozigbo figures to operate as a depth option behind Melvin Gordon, Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack.

Caden Sterns - Placed on IR Sterns (hip) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Sterns has been out since injuring his hip in Week 5, and his absence will now extend for at least four additional four. He had played nearly all of Denver's defensive snaps prior to going down and tallied 21 total tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions across five contests.

Essang Bassey - Out for Week 8 Bassey (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Broncos' Week 8 game versus the Jaguars.
Impact Bassey will miss Sunday's contest after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 6 against the Chargers, which has forced him to be absent for two consecutive games. With the Broncos' bye coming next week, Bassey will shift his focus to being ready for Week 10 versus Tennessee. In his absence, Michael Ojemudia could see a slight increase in usage.

Impact After concluding Week 8 prep with a full practice, Wilson has been deemed ready to take back the reins of the Denver offense after a one-game absence due to a hamstring strain. While Wilson was sidelined Week 7, Rypien wasn't able to uplift an already struggling Denver offense, completing just 24 of 46 pass attempts for 225 yards and an interception to go with nine yards on the ground in a 16-9 loss to the Jets.
