Broncos left guard Ron Leary was a late scratch before Saturday’s preseason game against Minnesota because of an ankle injury.
Max Garcia started in Leary’s place. Leary was held out of practice earlier in training camp because of the injury.
Nine other Broncos were scratched: Receiver Philly Brown (concussion), safety Su’a Cravens (knee), cornerback Tramaine Brock (hamstring), guard Menelik Watson (pectoral), defensive end Clinton McDonald (shoulder), inside linebackers Joseph Jones (foot) and Todd Davis (sternum) and tight ends Jeff Heuerman (knee) and Troy Fumagalli (groin).
