Broncos cancel Thursday practice due to positive COVID-19 tests
At 7-8, the Denver Broncos' chances at a playoff berth are hanging on by a thread. Denver is just three days away from a crucial Week 17 AFC West battle against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the team was unable to get in all of its scheduled preparation on Thursday.
The Broncos defeated the Chargers 28-13 in Week 12, one of only four wins they've had since Week 8. Since starting the year 3-0, Denver has gone 4-8 over the last dozen contests.
The team's two-score win over Los Angeles is also its only division victory of the campaign. The Broncos lost both of their regular-season games against the Las Vegas Raiders, while falling to the Kansas City Chiefs 22-9 in Week 13. The Broncos are scheduled to play the Chiefs in Week 18.
Denver and Los Angeles are slated to kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday.
