The Broncos will be facing a tough challenge today as they are without one of their key defensive players. Zach Allen, their starting defensive end, will be unable to play in their away game against the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. This is the first time Allen will be missing a game since joining the Broncos.
Earlier in the week, Allen had been limited in practice due to needing rest. However, he was able to fully participate in practice on Thursday. Unfortunately, on Friday, his injury limited him once again and he was seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot during pregame warmups.
Allen's absence is a significant loss for the Broncos, who currently rank first in sacks and second in pressures in the league. Allen has been a standout defensive lineman this season, with five sacks and 46 pressures — tied for seventh in the league.
In Allen's place, defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike will take the field on Sunday. Despite being listed as questionable on Saturday night due to an illness, starting safety Brandon Jones will also be playing.
The rest of the inactive players for the Broncos include cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, offensive tackle Frank Crum, guard Calvin Throckmorton, tight end Greg Dulcich, guard Nick Gargiulo, and quarterback Zach Wilson. Wilson will serve as the team's emergency third quarterback.
