Broncos receiver KJ Hamler, who played 40 snaps against Seattle in his first regular season game since last September’s ACL injury, will not play Sunday against Houston.
Hamler missed all three days of practice this week and worked out on a side field Friday during the media viewing period.
“Part of the maintenance,” coach Nathaniel Hackett said of managing Hamler’s health. “We want to be sure we can get him to as many games as we possibly can. He’s been doing some great things and getting great reps.”
The Broncos will have Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy as the top two receivers, followed by Tyrie Cleveland, Montrell Washington and Jalen Virgil.
