Denver Broncos: Four players ruled out for game vs Chiefs

The Denver Broncos will be without a couple of playmakers when the head to Kansas City to face the Chiefs.

Head coach Vance Joseph said on Friday that rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle), wideout DeSean Hamilton (knee), right tackle Jared Veldheer (knee) and safety Darian Stewart (neck) would not be available this weekend.

The absence of Freeman means that undrafted rookie Phillip Lindsay and third-year running back Devontae Booker should get plenty of snaps.

Freeman has 71 carries for 309 yards and four touchdowns so far on the season. He is second on the team in terms of attempts and yards, but leads the team in rushing touchdowns.
