They might not be Rob Gronkowski-level players, but the Broncos also left last night with some injuries that will take some key contributors out.
According to Mike Klis of KUSA, the Broncos will be without strong safety T.J. Ward and defensive tackle Sylvester Williams “for a while” after they suffered high ankle sprains on the same play last night.
The two of them even shared a cart ride from the sidelines to the locker room, after being helped off following a first-quarter run.
“Got rolled with Sly on the same play, in the same area on the same tackle,’' Ward said.
Missing two key pieces will force the Broncos to adjust, but they have put together a deep defense, and have been able to withstand the absence of pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware.
