AFC West Notes: Broncos, Chargers, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos HC Vance Joseph told reporters that QB Case Keenum needs to do a better job of taking care of the football.

โ€œI think Case would say this: just taking care of the football better,โ€ Joseph said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œWeโ€™re in the high red zone last week and we give one away. We gave three away against Seattle after defensive turnovers, so he would tell you guys probably taking care of the football. Again, Iโ€™ve been really impressed with Case and how heโ€™s come back from those plays and continued to play at a high level for our offense.โ€
  • The Broncos officially listย CB Adam Jones (thigh), LB Brandon Marshall (knee), S Dymonte Thomas (abdomen), and OT Jared Veldheer (concussion) as questionable for Week 3.

Chargers

Raiders

Raiders veteran CB Leon Hall wound up spending the night in a Denver hospital following their Week 2 game, due to issues he experienced because of theย sickle cell trait he has.

โ€œTheย sickle cell traitย got to me,โ€ Hall said, via Michael Gehlken of theย Las Vegas Review-Journal. โ€œAnd usually, I can handle it pretty well. Iโ€™ve played there a couple times, and Iโ€™ve had the same issue, kind of, but not as extreme. That one kind of came out of nowhere for me.

โ€œBreathing is tough. Chest is hurting. You feel real fatigued โ€” โ€˜heavyโ€™ would be a good word for it, too. Itโ€™s not a good feeling, especially when youโ€™re trying to play defense and cover people. Itโ€™s not great.โ€
  • The Raiders officially ruled out DT P.J. Hall (ankle) and haveย CB Nick Nelson (hamstring) listed as questionable.
