Broncos center Lloyd Cushenberry’s streak of 2,000 consecutive offensive snaps to start his NFL career is in jeopardy after he was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list before practice Thursday.
Coach Vic Fangio said Cushenberry is vaccinated, so it is possible he could play Sunday at Las Vegas if he is asymptomatic and returns two negative tests. But eight Broncos players this year who were vaccinated and contracted the virus all missed at least one game.
Cushenberry, a third-round pick in 2020, has started all 30 games of his career and was the only offensive lineman last year and in this year’s first 14 games to not miss a snap.
