A look at the Denver Broncos’ season-opening matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders at Empower Field.
The Broncos are 53-70-2 in 125 regular-season games dating back to 1960. Denver has lost six straight games to Las Vegas, with their last victory coming in 2019 when the Raiders were in Oakland.
Jacobs, the league’s leading rusher in 2022, has totaled 721 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in seven career games against the Broncos. Last season, Jacobs ran all over Denver’s defense, literally. He couldn’t be stopped, as it took two, three and sometimes four defenders to bring him down. It could be argued Denver has the advantage in Sunday’s season opener. The two-time Pro Bowler missed OTAs, mandatory minicamp and training camp because of a contract dispute — one that didn’t end until Aug. 26 when the team agreed to pay him up to $12 million this season. Singleton, on the other hand, thinks the time off is a gift rather than a curse.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy’s status for Sunday is uncertain due to a hamstring injury. He practiced for the first time in two weeks but in a limited capacity. If Jeudy doesn’t play, the Broncos could suit up as few as three receivers. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a strong camp and tight end Greg Dulcich is healthy after being plagued by hamstring issues as a rookie.
