The Denver Broncos have released their final injury report ahead of their Thursday Night Football clash with the New Orleans Saints in Week 7.
Broncos right tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) and cornerback Pat Surtain (concussion) have both been ruled out. Right tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL) is eligible to return from IR this week, so he might return in time to take his old spot from Palczewski.
Ja’Quan McMillian is expected to play across from Riley Moss at cornerback with Levi Wallace playing in the slot.
McGlinchey, outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) and cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) are listed as questionable. They would need to be activated from IR in order to play on Thursday.
