Dakota Allen - Lands on IRThe Broncos placed Allen on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

ImpactAllen missed back-to-back games while dealing with a hamstring injury before returning for Sunday's win over the Cardinals, playing 21 special-teams snaps in this contest. However, it appears this issue has continued to plague the 27-year-old, and he'll now be shut down for the remainder of the regular season while on IR. Allen was signed by Denver in late November to help fill in for linebacker Jonas Griffith (ankle), who has yet to return from IR.

Zach Allen - Won't return Week 16Arizona coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Allen (hand) will not be back for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

ImpactAllen was forced out with a left hand injury during Arizona's Week 14 loss to the Patriots and underwent surgery Wednesday. While it's still unclear when, or if, the 25-year-old will return this season, it appears he'll remain out until at least Week 17 against Atlanta. As a result, expect the Cardinals to remain undermanned at defensive end behind J.J. Watt and Jonathan Ledbetter, the latter of whom stepped into a bigger role with Allen sidelined Week 15.

Courtland Sutton - Could return in Week 16Coach Nathaniel Hackett noted Monday that the Broncos are "definitely hoping" Sutton (hamstring) is able to play Sunday against the Rams, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site r...

ImpactSutton, who last suited up in Week 13, didn't practice last week, but if the wideout is able to take the field in the coming days, it's possible that he could return to the lineup this weekend. Prior to his injury, Sutton had put together a 52/688/1 stat line (on 89 targets) through 12 contests.

Colt McCoy - Considered day-to-dayHead coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that McCoy (concussion) is day-to-day, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

ImpactKingsbury confirmed after Sunday's loss to Denver that McCoy was in concussion protocols, so the day-to-day designation isn't surprising, though it does suggest the quarterback will have a chance to suit up against Tampa Bay. However, Arizona's practice reports will likely provide further clarity on McCoy's availability. If McCoy remains sidelined, Trace McSorley and David Blough would be the Cardinals' top healthy quarterbacks, as Kyler Murray (knee) has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Broncos end 5-game skid behind Rypien; Wilson set to return

The Denver Broncos are riding high after breaking a five-game losing streak with a 24-15 win over Arizona behind the play of backup quarterback Brett Rypien

Matt Prater - Makes three FGs in Week 15Prater made all three of his field-goal attempts and didn't attempt a PAT in Sunday's 24-15 loss to Denver.

ImpactPrater was effective from deep in the Colorado altitude, making kicks of 45, 50 and 55 yards. The Cardinals went for two after their only touchdown, and opportunities could be scarce moving forward, as Arizona could be down to third-string quarterback Trace McSorley if Colt McCoy (concussion) joins Kyler Murray (knee) on the sidelines.
