Broncos' P.J. Locke: Ruled out for Week 9
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
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.

Broncos' P.J. Locke: Unlikely to play vs. Carolina
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: Staying with Broncos
Locke and the Broncos agreed on a two-year, $7 million contract with a maximum value of $9 million Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Locke had a career year in 2023, recording 53 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, while intercepting a pass, deflecting five others and forcing two fumbles over 12 contests with Denver. The 27-year-old is the frontrunner to operate as the Broncos' starting strong safety in 2024.

Broncos' P.J. Locke: Tallies 53 tackles in 2023
Locke made 53 tackles (33 solo) including three sacks, defended five passes with one interception, and forced two fumbles while playing 12 games in 2023.
Locke set career highs in tackles, sacks, passes defended and interceptions. With fellow safety Kareem Jackson serving two suspensions during the season, Locke was thrust into a starting role for several games and made the most of his opportunities. The 27-year-old will enter free agency this offseason, but the Broncos could offer him a new contract based on his performance in 2023 and the fact that they waived Jackson before the end of the season.

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