When the Broncos leave Denver for their first true road game since December 20, several players won’t be joining them.

In addition to linebacker DeMarcus Ware and guard Donald Stephenson, starting tight end Virgil Green has been ruled out for the game, via CBS 4 in Denver.

Green missed practiced Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with a calf injury.

The Broncos will have two healthy tight ends on the roster for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati: Jeff Heuerman and John Phillips.
