The Denver Broncos have released their final injury report for their Wild Card playoff matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Here are the final game designations:
| Player | Injury | Game Designation |
|---|---|---|
OT Frank Crum | Illness | Out |
RB Tyler Baddie | Back | Questionable |
CB Damarri Mathis | Back | – |
OL Ben Powers | Rest | – |
TE Nate Adkins | Abdomen | – |
You couldn't as for a better bill of health for the Broncos, which is pretty rare this late in the year. Crum is the only player listed as out as he continues to deal with an illness. Badie (back) is listed as questionable, but will need to be activated to the roster from injured reserve to play.
With how crowded Denver's backfield currently is, Badie isn't likely to be activated. After being limited on Wednesday and not practicing at all on Thursday, Mathis (back) returned and was able to log a full practice on Friday, giving the Broncos some depth in the secondary.
Powers (rest) and Adkins (abdomen) also practiced in full on Friday and will play against the Bills. As for Buffalo, it is entering Sunday's game very healthy as well, with only defensive back/kick returner Brandon Codrington carrying an injury designation, as he is questionable with a hamstring. The Broncos are as high as nine-point underdogs in some sportsbooks.
