Starting chance awaits Locke is expected to start at safety in Sunday's game against the Titans, Benjamin Allbright of KOA 850 AM Denver reports.

Impact With Caden Sterns (hip) on injured reserve and Justin Simmons (knee) listed as questionable for the Week 10 contest but in line to sit out, Locke and Kareem Jackson are expected to form Denver's starting safety tandem. Locke hasn't played more than 22 percent of the Broncos' defensive snaps in any of his seven appearances this season, but he'll be in store for a big uptick in playing time Sunday.

Impact Locke was forced to miss Thursday's contest against the Colts after suffering a concussion in the Broncos' Week 4 matchup with the Raiders.

Tendered by Broncos The Broncos extended a contract tender to Locke on Sunday.

Impact Locke appeared in 16 games for the Broncos last year and recorded six tackles (five solo). Even if he earns a roster spot ahead of the 2022 season, he's unlikely to play a significant role in the team's defensive unit.

Impact Locke and running back Mike Boone were both placed in COVID-19 protocol after Boone reported that he wasn't feeling well during Friday's practice.

Not on injury report Locke (leg) was not on Wednesday's injury report, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Might not return Sunday Locke (leg) is questionable to return Sunday against the Eagles.

Impact Losing Locke might thin the team's depth on defense even more, as his potential absence might open the door to more playing time for Caden Sterns. Locke only has two tackles this season, however, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.
