The Broncos will be without top cornerback A.J. Bouye when they face the Atlanta Falcons and star receiver Julio Jones on Sunday.
Bouye has been in the NFL’s concussion protocol since getting hit by teammate Kareem Jackson in last week’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Before practice Friday, coach Vic Fangio said Bouye, “hasn’t done as well as (running back) Phillip (Lindsay) did last week,” in his recovery. Lindsay was concussed against Kansas City but played seven days later against the Chargers.
Minus Bouye, who will miss his fifth game this year, the Broncos will start rookie Michael Ojemudia opposite Bryce Callahan in the base package.
