Kendall Hinton - Practices in limited fashion Hinton (hamstring) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After not practicing in any capacity the past two weeks while sitting out a win over the Cardinals and a loss to the Rams, Hinton has now turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 17 prep. Fellow receivers Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) have joined Hinton as limited participants in both of the Broncos' first two practices of the week, but since those two played in the Christmas Day loss to Los Angeles, they both appear to be good bets to suit up Sunday in Kansas City. Hinton, on the other hand, may need to graduate to full participation at Friday's practice to prove his injury is behind him and guarantee his availability for Sunday.

Jerry Jeudy - Still limited in practice Jeudy (ankle) will remain a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Each of Denver's top three receivers will have their reps capped for the second day in a row, with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) joining Jeudy as limited participants. Considering both Jeudy and Sutton played north of 75 percent of the snaps on offense in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams and neither is believed to be dealing with any reported setbacks with their respective injuries, the two are likely having their practice participation managed for maintenance-related reasons. Hinton, meanwhile, has sat out Denver's last two games and may need to advance to full participation to get cleared for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

Courtland Sutton - Stays limited in practice Sutton (hamstring) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Sutton hasn't graduated to full practice activity since suffering his hamstring injury in the Broncos' Week 13 loss to Baltimore, but it didn't prevent him from putting an end to a two-game absence and playing Christmas Day in Los Angeles. In the Broncos' 51-14 loss to the Rams, Sutton played 79 percent of the snaps on offense and finished with five catches for 64 yards on seven targets. The Broncos haven't indicated that Sutton suffered a setback with the hamstring in that game, and his continued participation in practice in any capacity suggests he's trending toward suiting up this weekend in Kansas City.

Greg Dulcich - Still not practicing Dulcich (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Dulcich didn't practice Wednesday either, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. If the 2022 third-rounder -- who logged a 4-39-1 line on eight targets Week 16 versus the Rams -- is unable to play this weekend, added tight end snaps would be available for Eric Saubert, Eric Tomlinson and possibly Albert Okwuegbunam.

Courtland Sutton - Logs limited practice Sutton (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Fellow wideouts Jerry Jeudy (ankle), and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) also began the week as limited participants, making all three players' statuses worth tracking as Sunday's game against the Chiefs approaches. Sutton was back in action in Week 16 after missing two games with a hamstring issue and logged a 79 percent snap share in Denver's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

Kendall Hinton - Returns to practice Hinton (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.
Impact Hinton stepped on the practice field for the first time since he suffered the hamstring injury in a Week 14 loss to the Chiefs. The Broncos will face Kansas City against this Sunday, but it's not guaranteed that Hinton will be available if he fails to advance to full participation in practice by the end of the week.

Jerry Jeudy - Limited by ankle issue Jeudy was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Jeudy was sidelined for Weeks 11 and 12 due to an ankle injury and had his practice reps managed to some extent in Weeks 13 and 14, but he hasn't been included on Denver injury reports either of the past two weeks. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Jeudy headed to the locker room with a trainer during Wednesday's practice, but he was able to finish the session. His ability to get back on the field suggests he's not dealing with too serious of a setback, if any, but his activity will still need to be monitored in practices Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

Russell Wilson - Still in team's long-term plan Broncos CEO Greg Penner said Tuesday that Wilson is still central to the team's long-term plan and is expected to rebuond in 2023, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The in-season firing of first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett earlier this week led to speculation that Wilson could be the next be the next big name headed out of Denver, even though he signed a five-year, $245 million extension in early September. The more likely scenario is one where Wilson finishes out the final two weeks of the season under interim coach Jerry Rosburg before getting a fresh start in the offseason with a new coaching staff. Rosburg confirmed Wednesday that Wilson will start Sunday's game against the Chiefs, according to Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site.

Justin Simmons - Tallies nine tackles Sunday Simmons recorded nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Impact Simmons, who once again played every defensive snap this past weekend versus the Rams, matched his previous season high with nine stops in Week 16. The 29-year-old is now in line to continue serving as a key piece within the Broncos' secondary when the team travels to Kansas City come New Year's Day.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josey Jewell - Registers 10 stops in loss Jewell recorded 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Impact Jewell has amassed exactly 10 stops in each of Denver's last three matchups, now bringing his total up to a career-best 116 tackles across 11 games played this season. The 28-year-old has operated in an every-down linebacker role thus far in 2022, and he'll likely continue to do so in Week 17 against Kansas City.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Greg Dulcich - Not practicing Wednesday Dulcich (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Dulcich hurt his hamstring late in Sunday's loss to the Rams, so his status will need to be tracked in advance of this weekend's game against the Chiefs. If the tight ends up out or limited, added Week 17 snaps would be available for Eric Saubert and Eric Tomlinson.
