Broncos Place LG Ben Powers on IR After Biceps Surgery

Sean Payton has not named a replacement, with Matt Peart under consideration.

Overview

  • Powers tore his left biceps late in Sunday’s 21-17 win over the Eagles while protecting Bo Nix on a completion to Adam Trautman.
  • He underwent surgery and was placed on injured reserve, with an absence of at least two months and a possible December return.
  • Payton confirmed the injury in England ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jets and declined to announce a new starter at left guard.
  • Peart took practice reps at left guard and is viewed internally as a leading option to fill in.
  • The injury interrupts a five-game run of the same starting offensive line for Denver, which ranks second in pass-block win rate.
