INJURIES

Garett Bolles - Held out Wednesday Bolles (calf) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Bolles sustained what initially appeared to be an ankle injury during the Broncos' regular-season opener, but it's been clarified to a calf issue. The 32-year-old's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will be something to monitor, and if he's unable to suit up in Week 2, expect Matt Peart to protect Bo Nix's blindside.

Devaughn Vele - DNP due to rib injury Vele (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Vele's banged up after a surprisingly busy NFL debut in which the 2024 seventh-round draft pick caught all eight of his targets, albeit for only 39 yards. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his practice participation as he looks to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's home opener against the Steelers.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Reynolds - Achilles issue resurfaces Reynolds (Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Reynolds was nursing an Achilles injury heading into Week 1, but he put forth three consecutive full practices before leading the Broncos with 45 receiving yards in a 26-20 loss to Seattle. Fellow wide receiver Devaughn Vele (ribs) was also absent Wednesday, leaving Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin as the only three healthy wide receivers on the roster. Reynolds and Vele both have two opportunities left to resume practicing as the Broncos prepare to host the Steelers on Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Wattenberg - Listed as DNP Wattenberg (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Wattenberg played all 69 offensive snaps for the Broncos during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks, but the 2022 fifth-round pick appears to have tweaked his ankle during the contest. Wattenberg will have a chance to participate in practice Thursday and Friday and prepare for Week 2 against Pittsburgh. Sunday was Wattenberg's first start since Week 13 of the 2022 season.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Burton - Signs to active roster The Broncos signed Burton to their active roster Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Burton will remain with the Broncos' active roster after playing 36 total snaps (10 offensive and 26 on special teams) during the team's regular-season opener. In a corresponding move, the Broncos' placed rookie running back Audric Estime (ankle) on injured reserve.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Audric Estime - Lands on IR The Broncos have placed Estime (ankle) on IR, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact As a result, Estime will miss at least four games, but it doesn't appear as though the 2024 fifth-rounder will need surgery to address his injury, per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. In his absence, the Broncos' healthy options at RB are Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson.

Wil Lutz - Perfect on kicks Lutz made all three of his field-goal tries while converting his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact On a day when the Broncos struggled to move the ball offensively, Lutz was able to make the most of his opportunities by converting every kick he attempted. Though Denver's offense could struggle to put up points this season with rookie quarterback Bo Nix at the helm, the veteran kicker could continue to see enough opportunities to be fantasy relevant when the Broncos' drives stall in scoring range. Lutz will look to build upon his solid performance when the Broncos host the Steelers in Week 2.

Garett Bolles - Negative X-rays Head coach Sean Payton told reporters Monday that Bolles' X-rays came back negative after he sustained an ankle injury Sunday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Impact It appears that Bolles avoided a serious injury, in light of Payton's comments Monday. Payton added that Bolles obviously has a "contusion," so he's still dealing with the issue and could potentially miss time. If the 32-year-old offensive lineman is forced to miss games, expect Matt Peart to work as the Broncos' first-team left tackle.

Jonathon Cooper - Notches two sacks in loss Cooper recorded six tackles (two solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Cooper finished the 2023 campaign with a career-high 8.5 sacks, and it seems he could be headed toward another career-year with a strong start in Week 1. In a contract year, the 26-year-old linebacker should remain a key member of Denver's defense and a strong IDP option for fantasy purposes for the 2024 season.

Alex Singleton - Productive against Seahawks Singleton tallied nine tackles (six solo), including one interception, one pass defensed and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Singleton picked up right where he left off after a stellar 2023 campaign, contributing as a key member of the Broncos' defense. The veteran linebacker recorded his first interception with Denver and just the third pick of his career. Singleton remains a priority IDP option in Denver's defense and the 30-year-old will look to keep the momentum going when the Broncos host the Steelers in Week 2.

Riley Moss - Leads Denver in tackles Moss recorded 12 tackles (eight solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact After tallying just six tackles and playing just 23 defensive snaps across 14 games in his rookie season, Moss was a key contributor for Denver's defense Sunday. The second-year cornerback played opposite of Patrick Surtain, which could keep Moss busy throughout the season as quarterbacks may do their best to avoid throwing to Surtain's side of the field. With that said, Moss could be a solid IDP option going forward after his standout performance in Week 1.

Audric Estime - Handles two carries in loss Estime rushed twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Estime played just three of the Broncos' 69 offensive snaps Sunday while Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin dominated in running back snap counts with 36 and 24 snaps, respectively. The rookie tried to make a highlight play by hurdling a Seattle defender on one of his carries, but ended up fumbling the ball before it was recovered by a teammate. It appears Estime is well behind Williams and McLaughlin in the pecking order, though his role could increase as the season progresses, especially if the Denver backfield is hit with the injury bug at any point this year. Estime should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Steelers in Week 2.

Marvin Mims Jr. - Targeted once against Seahawks Mims failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Mims was a complete non-factor on offense Sunday, instead making his only contributions on special teams as a returner. The second-year wideout returned five punts for 47 yards and and three kickoffs for 69 yards. Mims' lack of involvement in the passing attack carried over from his rookie season, in which head coach Sean Payton did not utilize him consistently. The speedster played just 12 of Denver's 69 offensive snaps, so his usage will need to come up if he can be considered for fantasy purposes. Mims will get his next chance to make an impact offensively when the Broncos host the Steelers in Week 2.

Greg Dulcich - Quiet in loss Dulcich caught two of his three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Dulcich was unable to get much going against Seattle on a day where rookie quarterback Bo Nix struggled to push the ball down the field. Fantasy managers hoping the 24-year-old tight end could take a step forward this season should take some comfort in the fact that Dulcich led all Denver tight ends in offensive snaps, playing 46 of the team's 69 snaps ahead of both Adam Trautman (24) and Nate Adkins (14). The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder will have an opportunity to get more involved in the passing attack in Week 2, when the Broncos host a formidable Steelers defense that just gave up three catches and a touchdown to Kyle Pitts in Week 1.
