The Denver Broncos expect to get a few key players back from injury this week for their Thursday Night Game against the Chargers. Who’s in and who’s out?

Wednesday the Denver Broncos traveled to San Diego to take on the Chargers in their final Thursday Night game of the season. The Broncos injury report is likely the lightest it’s been since week one. The Broncos essentially held a few players out of the Falcons game last week that likely could have played if they had the normal amount of rest before the next game. However, with Thursday’s game being a divisional bout, they felt it was best to give them the extra few days rest so that they would have their full arsenal of weapons against the Chargers. So who can the Broncos expect back this week?

Good news in the run game

The great news of the week is that the Broncos will be welcoming back some

Quarterback Trevor Siemian is officially listed as questionable for Thursday’s contest just as he was a week ago. However, the expectation this time around is that Siemian is expected to play. According to Mike Klis of 9 News in Denver, the Broncos had Siemian begin prepping to play the Chargers as soon as he was ruled out last Saturday.

Every expectation is that Siemian will play unless he takes a major step backwards. While the loss to the Falcons was hardly a single issue of poor quarterback play, it was clear that Trevor Siemian gives the Denver Broncos the best chance to win. Getting Siemian back behind his full offensive line should get the offense back on track this week.

Perhaps the most notable Bronco that won’t be in action Thursday is one that doesn’t show up on the injury report. Coach Gary Kubiak will be watching this one from home as he gets healthy after being hospitalized due to a “complex migraine.” Kubiak is expected to be just fine, and likely would have coached had this been a normal Sunday game. However, the day the Broncos usually return to practice is the day they travel to San Diego so the Broncos determined that it was best to get Kubiak rest and not rush him back in to action on a very short week.

Special Teams Coordinator Joe DeCamillis was named interim head coach for the week. DeCamillis works with players from all position groups, so naturally he was the best fit for the week. Wade Phillips told his guys that it was time to go play this one for coach Kubiak.

The Denver Broncos will be fired up for this one while they wait for their leader to get healthy—there is no doubt about that.
