Broncos' Dre Greenlaw, Evan Engram miss practice ahead Chargers clash

The Denver Broncos are dealing with significant injury concerns as inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw remains sidelined with a quad injury, having missed all preseason games and yet to participate fully in regular-season practices. Despite a brief return to limited practice last Friday, Greenlaw did not participate in Wednesday's session and continued to work individually on the side field. Tight end Evan Engram, who suffered a calf injury in the season opener, also missed Wednesday's practice after playing limited snaps last Sunday; his status remains uncertain ahead of the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Meanwhile, cornerback Pat Surtain and tight end Nate Adkins both practiced, signaling some positive developments on the injury front. The Broncos face challenges against a strong Chargers defense, further complicated by the absence of key players like Greenlaw and Engram, who have yet to return to full form. Head coach Sean Payton described Greenlaw's rehabilitation as "a little nebulous," emphasizing the uncertain timeline for his return.
