The Denver Broncos will suffer a big loss with interior lineman D.J. Jones being ruled out for their Week 14 road matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. That is a huge loss for the front seven. When asked about the injury, Head Coach Sean Payton was gruff saying, “I’m not going through the players.”
Hopefully it is minor, because the games only get more difficult from here through the end of the season. There is good news. Defensive lineman Zach Allen looks good to go as a full participant, as is edge rusher Jonah Elliss and wide receiver Pat Bryant.

On the Raiders side of things, they have five players listed as questionable, including edge rusher Maxx Crosby who did not participate in the final two days of practice. You have to assume he’ll be out there ready to terrorize Bo Nix from the edge on Sunday. They have also ruled out three other players from the game.
Here is your full practice report for Friday.
