  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Locke (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Locke was spotted with a splint on his left thumb Wednesday, and he will now be forced to miss his first contest of the year after failing to practice during the week. In Locke's absence, JL Skinner will likely draw the start at strong safety against Baltimore.

• Broncos' P.J. Locke: Has left thumb in splint

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Locke was seen with a splint on his left thumb Wednesday and he did not participate in practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Locke may have picked up the injury during the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Saints. He ended last week with back-to-back DNPs, which forced him to sit during Denver's Week 8 win over Carolina. Unless he's able to shed the splint and increase his practice participation over the next two days, it appears Locke will be unable to play Sunday against Baltimore. In Locke's absence in Week 8, Ja'Quan McMillan was listed on the Broncos' starting defense and finished with three tackles (two solo) and one interception.

  Locke (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Locke logged consecutive DNPs to end the week, and he will miss his first game of the regular season due to a thumb injury. With Locke sidelined, Devon Key and JL Skinner are the top two candidates to draw the start at strong safety alongside free safety Brandon Jones.

  Locke (thumb) did not practice Friday and is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Locke opened the week as a limited practice participant due to a thumb injury, but he ended the week with back-to-back DNPs and appears unlikely to play Sunday. If he's indeed inactive, Devon Key would have the slight edge over JL Skinner to start at strong safety alongside free safety Brandon Jones, though Ja'Quan McMillian could also see an uptick in snaps as the nickel corner.

• Broncos' P.J. Locke: Records nine stops in Week 16 loss

  12/27/2023 • By RotoWire

  Locke totaled nine tackles (five solo) Sunday in a loss to New England. Locked play all 56 of Denver's defensive snaps Sunday and recorded a season-high nine stops. Kareem Jackson completed his four-game suspension ahead of the contest, but the Broncos chose not to activate him and then elected to waive him Monday. That should lock Locke into a starting safety role alongside Justin Simmons for the remainder of the campaign.
