Josey Jewell - Records eight tacklesJewell tallied eight tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.
ImpactJewell's eight total tackles were the second most of any Broncos defender in the contest. In seven games played, the veteran linebacker has recorded 68 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, one pass defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Jewell's 68 tackles are the second-highest total of the season behind fellow linebacker Alex Singleton, who has amassed an impressive 90 tackles on the year. Jewell will look to improve upon his solid season when the Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 13.

Justin Simmons - Records nine tackles in lossSimmons tallied nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-10 loss the Panthers.
ImpactSimmons led the Broncos defense in tackles Sunday, with his nine tackles matching his season high.

Brandon McManus - Makes one field goal in lossMcManus made one of his two field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.
ImpactMcManus connected on a 27-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but he missed his only other attempt wide left from 56 yards out in the closing seconds of the first half. Denver's offensive struggles continued Sunday, limiting the veteran kicker's opportunities in scoring range. McManus will look to get back on track when the Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 13.

Devine Ozigbo - Plays four offensive snaps in lossOzigbo caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.
ImpactOzigbo failed to record a single rush Sunday while operating as the Bronco's No. 3 running back behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. Murray handled the lion's share of work out of the backfield, leading the way in carries and yards, while Mack and Ozigbo played six and four offensive snaps, respectively. With Mike Boone (ankle) possibly returning from injured reserve in Week 13, Ozigbo could potentially be heading back to the practice squad. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 13.

Brian Burns - Big performance SundayBurns finished with three tackles, including two sacks, a forced fumble and a pass breakup in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.
ImpactBurns strip-sacked opposing quarterback Russell Wilson in the second quarter, preventing a red-zone opportunity for Denver. Heading into Carolina's bye week, Burns already sports a career-best 10 sacks to go with 53 tackles (28 solo) in 12 appearances.

Brandon Johnson - Finds end zone in lossJohnson caught two of four targets for 10 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.
ImpactJohnson's one-yard touchdown was the first of his career and the only trip to the end zone for the Broncos in yet another disappointing outing. The rookie was elevated from Denver's practice squad for the second straight week with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) sidelined for the contest. Johnson operated as the No. 3 receiver, playing 70 percent of the the Broncos' offensive snaps behind Courtland Sutton (93) and Kendall Hinton (92). Though he may have additional opportunities for playing time if Jeudy and Hamler remain out, the 24-year-old's fantasy relevance will likely be difficult to trust in the Denver's weak offensive attack. The Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 13.
