The Denver Broncos have ruled out outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he missed all three days of practice this week.
Jonah Elliss and Nik Bonitto are the next men up at pass rusher following Browning’s injury. One of them will start across from Jonathon Cooper in Week 3, and Dondrea Tillman was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster this week to provide more depth at the position.
Elsewhere on the injury front, safety JL Skinner (ankle) has also been ruled out. Keidron Smith could be the next man up to replace Skinner on special teams.
Meanwhile, safety Brandon Jones (foot) and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (concussion) have been cleared to play.
