The Denver Broncos have seven players on injured as they approach Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, but that number could easily change this week.

Four of those players — wide receiver Pat Bryant (ankle), running back Jonah Coleman (ankle), offensive tackle Frank Crum and tight end Caleb Lohner — are on short-term injured reserve, which means they are eligible to return after four games (although Lohner is expected to be out until at least mid-season).

Coleman is eligible to return from IR this week, and outside linebacker Jonah Elliss might be a candidate for IR after he was spotted using a walking boot and crutches over the weekend.

Another player, offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo, is on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list. He is also eligible to return after four games.

Denver has three players on season-ending IR: center Michael Deiter (quad), defensive end Matt Henningsen (Achilles) and linebacker Levelle Bailey (broken leg). The club cut linebacker Drew Sanders from IR before Week 1.
