Inactive versus Carolina Hufanga (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Hufanga was considered a game-time call for this one. However, he won't suit up for a fourth consecutive contest. Hufanga is seemingly moving in the right direction, so there's a chance he will be back on the field in Week 11, following the Broncos' bye.

Game-time call Sunday Hufanga (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hufanga has a chance to return to action in Week 9 following a three-game absence, but it appears the Broncos have not made a final call just yet. Their decision, per the report, will be based on how Hufanga fares during a pregame workout.

Week 9 return uncertain Hufanga (ankle) is questionable to play against Carolina on Sunday.

Impact Hufanga missed each of Denver's past three contests due to an ankle injury. He was able to return to practice this week with limited sessions Thursday and Friday, but it's unclear if that will be enough for him to suit up Sunday. Fellow safety Brandon Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9, so it could be Devon Key and JL Skinner starting Sunday if Hufanga is ruled out.

Limited Thursday Hufanga (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact After being listed as DNP on Wednesday, Hufanga's return to practice will give him a chance to play Sunday against the Panthers after he's missed the past three contests.

Will miss Week 8 Hufanga (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.

Impact Hufanga is set to miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury he suffered Oct. 11 versus the Chargers. The veteran safety didn't practice at all this week, so it's far from certain he'll be ready to return Week 9. Devon Key and Jahdae Barron should continue to help prop up the secondary in Hufanga's absence.

Remains sidelined at practice Hufanga (ankle) did not participate at the Broncos' practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Impact Hufanga has missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Chargers. The safety appears likely to miss a third straight contest, and if that's the case, Devon Key would stand to draw another start in Denver's secondary Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Will be sidelined for Week 7 Hufanga (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Hufanga was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury, which he picked up during the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Chargers. He'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game, and his next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 1. Devon Key and Jahdae Barron will both continue to see more work in the secondary in Hufanga's absence.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Hufanga (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Hufanga suffered an ankle injury during the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Chargers, and the severity of the injury was diagnosed as week-to-week. He didn't play against the Seahawks in Week 6, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road tilt against the Cardinals. Devon Key will continue to operate in an expanded role in the Broncos' secondary for as long as Hufanga is sidelined.

Facing multi-week absence Hufanga (ankle) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to the injury he sustained in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Chargers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Listed as a non-participant on the Broncos' first two Week 6 injury reports, Hufanga is set to miss Thursday's game against the Seahawks and looks like he could be in danger of missing additional time beyond that. Per Fowler, one source familiar with Hufanga's situation estimated that the safety could be sidelined for about 2-to-3 weeks, depending on how quickly he bounces back from the ankle injury. Hufanga has recorded 23 tackles (12 solo), three pass breakups, two interceptions, one forced fumble, one sack and one touchdown through the Broncos' first five games.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Considered unavailable Monday Hufanga (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on the Broncos' estimated injury report Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Impact Hufanga suffered an ankle injury during the team's 23-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday, and the team will have a short week prior to facing the Seahawks on Thursday night. The safety will have two more chances to participate at practice this week, and if he can't go Thursday, Devon Key would be the top candidate to draw a start in Hufanga's place within Denver's secondary.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Done for day Hufanga (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Hufanga had his lower body bent backwards while making a tackle in the second half, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. In his absence, JL Skinner and Devon Key are both candidates to see increased opportunities at safety.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Four tackles in loss Hufanga recorded four total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Hufanga was on the field for every one of the team's defensive snaps in the contest, but he was limited to a season-low four takedowns. The safety has now registered 21 total tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also intercepting two passes, one of which he returned for a touchdown, over four contests to open the 2026 campaign.
