Rookie Mansoor Delane is sidelined by a shoulder injury, and veteran L’Jarius Sneed lands on injured reserve with a lingering knee issue, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Despite Denver’s struggling offense—just 270 yards per game—quarterback Bo Nix could find opportunities against a shorthanded Chiefs secondary.
