ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Broncos will have to make do up front without right tackle Menelik Watson.
Denver placed the five-year veteran on injured reserve Tuesday. He had missed the second half of the Week 6 loss to the Giants and all of the Week 7 game at Los Angeles because of a calf injury.
Watson is the second right tackle to go on injured reserve in the last month. Backup Billy Turner, who relieved Watson against the Giants, suffered a hand injury in that game and was placed on injured reserve a day later when he underwent surgery.
