  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Questionable with concussion

    Jennings (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

    Jennings has passed the NFL's concussion protocol after a week of full practice, but remains questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest. With both Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson healthy and ready for Sunday, the Patriots must decide if the team will allocate a roster spot for Jennings' activation or if there are more pressing needs elsewhere that would consume an active roster spot.

  • JL Skinner SAF | DEN

    Broncos' JL Skinner: Questionable for Sunday

    Skinner (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Skinner has been a reliable depth piece for most of the Broncos' season, but a downgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice may mean the backup safety will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old is primarily a special-teams player, and if he is unable to take the field, another defensive back or wide receiver will likely take over his snaps.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Cleared for Sunday's game

    Bryant (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Bryant, who sustained a concussion in this past Saturday's divisional-round win over the Bills, logged a limited practice Wednesday, but following full sessions Thursday and Friday, he's been cleared to face New England. Meanwhile, fellow WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) has been deemed questionable after three straight limited practices, and if Franklin is limited or out Sunday, Bryant and Marvin Mims would stand to pick up added snaps alongside Courtland Sutton.

  • Drew Sanders LB | DEN

    Broncos' Drew Sanders: Unavailable due to ankle

    Sanders (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Sanders has yet to make his season debut, having started the year on injured reserve. The third-year linebacker had his 21-day practice window opened this past Saturday. The 24-year-old was able to practice fully throughout the week, but will ultimately not be activated for Sunday's game. The Broncos currently have 10 active linebackers, and the availability within the unit is likely one of the reasons that Sanders will have to continue to wait for a shot to suit up.

  • Troy Franklin WR | DEN

    Broncos' Troy Franklin: Questionable to face New England

    Franklin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Franklin, who was limited to 13 snaps in this past Saturday's divisional-round win over the Bills, was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, but his status for the AFC Championship Game won't be confirmed until the Broncos' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Franklin ends up limited or out this weekend, added WR snaps alongside Courtland Sutton would be available for Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

  • Lucas Krull TE | DEN

    Broncos' Lucas Krull: Won't play Sunday

    Krull (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Krull has been on injured reserve since breaking his foot back in October, and the reserve tight end will have to miss yet another pivotal game. The 27-year-old was a full participant in practice throughout the week, but the space demanded by the active roster and the reserve player's relatively low-priority role are likely what kept him from being activated for Sunday's contest.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Won't play Sunday

    Dobbins (foot) won't play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Dobbins, who last saw game action in Week 10 when he sustained a foot injury that required surgery, has been able to practice in a limited fashion this week, but he's not quite ready to return to action. In his continued absence, RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie will handle the Broncos' RB duties this weekend. Dobbins' next chance to suit up would occur in the event that Denver advances to Super Bowl LX, which will take place Feb. 8.

  • Alex Forsyth C | DEN

    Broncos' Alex Forsyth: Questionable with ankle issue

    Forsyth (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Forsyth suffered an ankle injury in last Saturday's overtime playoff victory over the Bills. The center was able to log three consecutive limited practices this week and has a chance to be available for Sunday's game. The 26-year-old will likely be taking a backseat to Luke Wattenberg (shoulder) this week, as the former starting center may finally be able to return from injured reserve.

  • Broncos' Luke Wattenberg: Questionable for Sunday

    Wattenberg (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Wattenberg was a full participant in practice throughout the week, so the center's odds of being activated from injured reserve are high. Alex Forsyth (ankle), who has been operating as the starting center, is also questionable to play. Both linemen will likely be able to suit up, but in a situation where neither can go, Sam Mustipher will be the starting center in Sunday's playoff game.

  • Rob Havenstein OT | LAR

    Rams' Rob Havenstein: Won't play Sunday

    Havenstein (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Havenstein was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday, but will be unable to suit up for Sunday's contest. The backup right tackle was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday but was ultimately deemed not ready to play. D.J. Humphries will likely serve as the primary backup offensive tackle for the Rams on Sunday.
