Broncos Rule Out Center Luke Wattenberg as Alex Forsyth Starts vs. Chiefs

The injury sidelines Denver’s newly extended full-season starter, disrupting a line the team sought to keep intact.

Overview

  • Alex Forsyth is remembered for the blocked Wil Lutz field goal at Arrowhead last season when Leo Chenal broke through his protection.
  • The start comes on Christmas night in Kansas City after Luke Wattenberg was ruled out with a shoulder injury.
  • The late switch heightens concerns about interior protection against Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones.
  • Denver rotated Ben Powers and Alex Palczewski at guard last week to ease Powers back, raising questions about cohesion inside.
  • Wattenberg recently signed a four-year, $48 million extension after starting every game this season.
