CARSON, Calif. -- At least in the short-term the Denver Broncos have dealt with their growing injury issues in-house.
Right tackle Menelik Watson and his backup at right tackle -- Donald Stephenson -- will miss Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers with calf injuries. Watson was injured in the Broncos’ loss to the New York Giants last Sunday night while Stephenson was injured in Thursday’s practice.
Linebacker Corey Nelson, a key situational player on defense as well as on special teams, also suffered a season-ending elbow injury in Thursday’s practice.
