Broncos Travel to London Without Ben Powers as Jarrett Stidham Plans Later Arrival

Denver awaits evaluation of a biceps injury to its starting left guard, prompting depth moves ahead of the Week 6 game in London.

Overview

  • Ben Powers did not make the initial flight and returned to Denver for testing on a biceps injury sustained against Philadelphia, with the severity not yet known.
  • Coaches are preparing contingency options at left guard, with Alex Palczewski, Matt Peart or Alex Forsyth candidates to fill in if Powers cannot play.
  • Powers has not missed a start since joining the Broncos, making a potential absence a significant shift for an otherwise stable offensive line.
  • Backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham remained in Denver for the expected birth of his third child and is expected to rejoin the team later this week.
  • If Stidham is unavailable versus the Jets, Sam Ehlinger would serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Bo Nix for the London game.
