The fitting irony to the Broncos’ 2017 season is that even a moment of celebration delivered pain.
Safety Justin Simmons is considered day to day with a mild high ankle sprain, coach Vance Joseph said Monday. The second-year player turned his left ankle on teammate Brandon Marshall‘s right foot in the first quarter of Denver’s 23-0 victory over the Jets on Sunday.
The “fluky” injury, as Joseph described it, occurred as Simmons and Marshall were celebrating the linebacker’s strip sack of Jets quarterback Josh McCown. Simmons didn’t return to the game.
