Overview
- Coach Sean Payton said Engram's back issue surfaced during the Week 2 loss at Indianapolis, and the tight end was ruled out Friday after not practicing this week.
- Greenlaw remains sidelined by a quadriceps/thigh injury and has yet to make his Denver debut after signing a multi-year deal reported at three years and $35 million.
- Linebacker Justin Strnad fully participated in Friday's practice and is available to continue filling snaps alongside Alex Singleton.
- With Engram out, the Broncos list Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull as their healthy tight ends for Sunday.
- Denver is likely to elevate a practice-squad linebacker for game day, with Garret Wallow, Levelle Bailey or Jordan Turner among the candidates.
