Sean Payton returns to the sideline Sunday when the Denver Broncos host the Las Vegas Raiders. After 15 seasons in New Orleans, Payton took a year off from coaching and worked on Fox's NFL coverage.
RAIDERS OFFENSE: OVERALL , RUSH , PASS , SCORING .BRONCOS OFFENSE: OVERALL , RUSH , PASS , SCORING .TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Raiders minus-8, Broncos minus-1.
BRONCOS PLAYER TO WATCH: S Justin Simmons. Like Jacobs, Simmons missed lots of time in August but that was because he tweaked a groin and not because of a contract stalemate. When Simmons was sidelined, Russell Wilson and coach Sean Payton’s offense finally got going. Before that, he was posting daily interceptions and otherwise disrupting the offense’s ability to gel. Simmons tied for the league lead with six interceptions last season despite missing a month.
KEY INJURIES: Raiders: CB Brandon Facyson didn’t practice Wednesday because of an injured shin. He backs up starter Marcus Peters. If Facyson isn’t able to play, Amik Robertson likely will be Peters’ backup. … WR DeAndre Carter was limited in practice with a knee injury. Broncos: WR1 Jerry Jeudy, who pulled his right hamstring in a joint practice with the Rams last month and missed the final preseason tuneup, returned to the field Wednesday on a limited basis.
