The Broncos will have a trio of veterans returning to help a struggling defense.
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo grimaces in pain after a tackle by Denver Broncos linebacker Frank Clark and safety Justin Simmons at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Sept. 10, 2023. Outside linebacker Frank Clark , safety Justin Simmons and inside linebacker Josey Jewell are expected to play against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon.Meanwhile, running back Javonte Williams , defensive tackle Mike Purcell and center Lloyd Cushenberry III are questionable.
The Broncos, who have one of the worst defenses statistically in the league, badly needed the return of Simmons, Jewell and Clark. Jewell missed last week’s game at Chicago and Simmons has been sidelined since Week 2’s loss to the Washington. Second-year safety Delarrin Turner-Yell started in Simmons’ place. Denver has allowed the third-most passing yards in the league while opposing quarterbacks have a 133.4 passer rating.Sean Payton is doing with Russell Wilson what Nathaniel Hackett couldn’t.
Tight end Cole Kmet slipped past linebacker Alex Singleton while Turner-Yell looked lost in the end zone, and caught a 22-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Later in the quarter, wide receiver D.J. Moore ran down the sideline all alone before making a 24-yard catch.
