Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy Pops Up on Week 11 Injury Report
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was not listed on Wednesday's estimated practice report. But he turned up on Thursday's actual report.
Per the team, Jeudy was a limited participant with what they're calling a hip issue, the genesis and severity of which remains unclear.
Jeudy, who's powered through knee and hamstring ailments this season, appeared no worse for wear in Monday's upset of the Bills, totaling three catches for 35 yards — and one helluva flex on the Buffalo faithful.
Barring a drastic turn of events, Jeudy should play in Denver's Week 11 prime-time affair against the Minnesota Vikings, though his Friday practice status is worth monitoring.
Elsewhere on the home front, starting left guard Ben Powers was a DNP (Did Not Practice) for the second straight day due to a foot injury, putting his status in serious jeopardy.
“It was something from the [Bills] game," Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Powers' malady. "We’ll see how it goes tomorrow, and we’ll see where he is at.”
Also in jeopardy is safety PJ Locke, who sustained an ankle injury at Buffalo and failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday. He's likely to be ruled out, leaving the freshly-reinstatement Kareem Jackson as the starter opposite Justin Simmons.
"He’s in good shape. It’s good to have him back," Payton said of Jackson. "I told him that we’re on a little bit of a roll and don’t mess anything up now (laughing). He’s doing well.”
Outside linebackers Baron Browning (wrist/knee) and Ronnie Perkins (quad) and WR Marvin Mims (ankle) all were full participants and will play versus Minnesota.
