ENFIELD, U.K. — As the Broncos prepare for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, they’re also adjusting to life without left guard Ben Powers.
Denver will have a new player in place of the veteran offensive lineman, who is headed to injured reserve after a Monday surgery to repair a biceps tear.
“With a starting player, it’s never any good,” head coach Sean Payton said. “And yet the next guy is up and ready to play.”
During training camp, Matt Peart served as the primary backup at both left guard and left tackle, making him a logical candidate to replace Powers.
