The Denver Broncos have ruled out running back Tyler Badie (back) and elevated defensive lineman Matt Henningsen from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tyler Baide returned to practice last week, starting his 21-day window to return from injured reserve. If Badie is not activated to the 53-man roster by Jan. 14, he will remain on IR for the rest of Denver’s season.
Meanwhile, Henningsen has joined the team’s game-day roster for Week 18. Players can be elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. Henningsen will revert back to the practice squad on Monday.
Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on CBS (view the TV map). With the Chiefs resting starters, the Broncos are considered favorites in Week 18. Denver can clinch a spot in the NFL playoffs with a win.
