Broncos final injury report: Some bad news just days ahead of season opener vs. Titans

Nate Adkins, who was expected to miss the contest , has also been ruled out while he deals with a nagging ankle injury. Fortunately, the rest of the injury update was good news as Nik Bonitto, Marvin Mims Jr., Alex Singleton, and Dondrea Tillman were all full participants for Friday's practice.

Bonitto shows some love for Denver after signing an extension

Bonitto just inked a massive extension and made sure to give his love to his family and the city that's had his back since day one. Getting a one-man wrecking crew back on the defensive side of the football is a big victory, though it was never really a doubt that he'd be on the field.

Pair that with the news of Mims Jr., their All-Pro punt returner and a key part of their offense with Bo Nix — the positives outweighed the negatives.

Dre Greenlaw's debut in Denver will have to wait

For Greenlaw, it's unfortunate, as the fan base is desperately waiting to see him on the field during the regular season. He was brought in to help bolster an already impressive defense.

In 2024, Denver led the league in sacks and was the No. 3 scoring defense in the NFL, only allowing 18.3 points per game, and led the league in defensive Expected Points Added.

It wasn't all bad news, but the reality of not being able to see Greenlaw or Roach wreak havoc on the Tennessee Titans is a bit more than a little disappointing.

Nevertheless, football is back, and we won't have to wait long to see what this Broncos team looks like, with Payton expressing that they have all the tools to make a deep playoff run.

Get ready, Broncos Country, it's almost time for some football.
