AFC Notes: Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs

Broncos

  • Broncos OLB Von Miller underwent surgery Friday morning and the team was told it went well. James Palmer says there is currently no timetable for Miller to return. 
  • Broncos HC Vic Fangio said of WR Courtland Sutton‘s shoulder injury: “He won’t practice today but we think he will be limited (tomorrow). He will be day to day.” (Mike Klis)
  • Regarding Broncos running backs Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay, OC Pat Shurmur said: “They are outstanding runners who both deserve to be starters. I have a feeling they will both be in there, hopefully an equal amount of time. In my mind it’s a good problem to have.” (Troy Renck)
  • Shurmur admitted that first-round WR Jerry Jeudy could see a larger role in Week 1 if Sutton is out: โ€œWith regard to Jerry Jeudy, he was going to be part of the plan anyway. Letโ€™s say that Courtland doesnโ€™t make it for whatever reason, then the whole group has got to kind of share the load. Thatโ€™s the way it has always been and always will be. These kind of things are part of our game, so theyโ€™ve got to be ready to go. Weโ€™re preparing him to play anyway, so he may just have to take a few more snaps. Other guys will fill in, as well.โ€

Chargers

Chiefs

  • Chiefs CB Charvarius Ward suffered a broken hand during Thursday’s win over the Texans. 
  • Ian Rapoport reports that Ward is slated for surgery on his broken hand, but based on the position he plays, it wouldnโ€™t be unprecedented plays with a cast.
  • Chiefs DT Khalen Saunders dislocated his elbow during the game.
