Broncos could get reinforcements from injured reserve this week

The Denver Broncos could get some reinforcements from injured reserve ahead of their game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) and center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) are both eligible to return from IR this week.

Additionally, running back Tyler Badie (back) became eligible to return from IR last week, and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) are both eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list.

Turner-Yell returned to practice last week, starting his 21-day window to return to the active roster. On offense, Reynolds could give a big boost to a wide receiver room that lacks talent outside of Courtland Sutton.

Wattenberg's status will be interesting to monitor because Alex Forsyth played well as a fill-in center while Wattenberg spent four weeks on IR.

The Broncos also have two players -- linebacker Alex Singleton (ACL) and offensive lineman Quinn Bailey (ankle) -- who are on season-ending IR.

If he's healthy, Reynolds seems like the most likely candidate to return to the 53-man roster this week. Wattenberg could also return, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to win back his starting job.
