For the first time all season, the Denver Broncos are notably banged up. The team produced their estimated injury report for Thursday night with a long list of key names on the report, including a few who missed Sunday's matchup with the Texans. Despite the win on Sunday, it was clear there were issues with the Broncos.
Most notably, the absence of a few key Broncos was felt. The team has been feeling the fallout of the injury to guard Ben Powers for about a month now, and Week 9 felt like the first time in which the Broncos went a full game with consistency and security on their line since his injury.
