Broncos' Brandon Jones Has Pectoral Surgery as Payton Casts Doubt on Any Return

Denver enters the Bills game with P.J. Locke stepping in at safety.

Overview

  • Jones underwent surgery for a torn pectoral sustained Dec. 14 and is not expected to be activated for the divisional round.
  • Although 9NEWS reported the team is keeping a narrow Super Bowl window open, Sean Payton said he does not think Jones will play again this season.
  • P.J. Locke continues to start next to Talanoa Hufanga after filling in capably over the past month.
  • Center Luke Wattenberg remains on injured reserve but could be eligible to return if Denver reaches the AFC Championship because the bye shortened his games missed.
  • Buffalo enters Saturday short at receiver after ACL tears for Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers, with safety Jordan Poyer ruled out and Curtis Samuel beginning a practice return.
