The Denver Broncos come into the week with a few questions on the injury front. Defensive lineman Zach Allen came up lame after a play with a hamstring issue and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle reinjured his chest. Both were at practice on Wednesday, but did not participate. It’s probably a good sign they were there at least. Safety Talanoa Hufanga was not and its looking like he may not be back for yet another week.

For Allen, the news appears to be good. He was asked about the injury and said, “I’ll be fine.”

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs have a long list to report but mostly everyone is a full go. This is a big game for both teams and the winner will be in first place in the AFC West after, which also has long-term implications for the playoffs in a few months. You won’t find a bigger game in the NFL in Week 8 than this one right here.

Here is your full Broncos-Chiefs practice participation report for Wednesday.
