The Denver Broncos will suffer a major loss as interior lineman DJ Jones will miss their Week 14 road game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This is a huge loss for the top seven. When asked about the injury, head coach Sean Payton said gruffly: “I’m not going to evaluate players.”
Hopefully this is just a minor thing, because the game will only get more difficult from here to the end of the season. There is good news. Defensive lineman Zach Allen looks good as a complete participant, as does edge rusher Jonah Elliss and wide receiver Pat Bryant.

The Raiders have five players listed as doubtful, including edge rusher Maxx Crosby, who did not participate in the final two days of practice. You have to assume he’ll be ready to terrorize Bo Nix from the edge on Sunday. They also ruled out three other players from the game.
Here’s the full practice report from Friday.
