The Broncos are coming off a big blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys but that game left them a bit banged up. You have three starters listed on the Wednesday injury report for the Broncos as they prepare to travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills.
Vance Joseph said there is no concern about either Von Miller or Bradley Roby for Sunday. Both are listed on the injury report.

Obviously, rookie tackle Garett Bolles will be sitting out Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. He escaped “only” with a high ankle sprain and is considered a week to week according to Head Coach Vance Joseph. Look for Donald Stephenson or Alan Barbre to get the start in place of Bolles.
Cornerback Bradley Roby was seen with a boot on his foot after Sunday’s victory, but he’s apparently in no danger of missing the game according to Vance Joseph.
The other starter to keep an eye on is Bennie Fowler. He hit his hard pretty hard on the field during the game and stumbled around before falling down twice. He was diagnosed with a concussion and will need to pass the leagues concussion protocol before playing in Sunday’s game against the Bills. If he’s unable to play, look for Cody Latimer and rookie Isaiah McKenzie to get some playing time in the slot.
Here's some good news. Nose tackle Zach Kerr and running back Devontae Booker are not listed on the injury report and may make their regular season debut Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
As for the Bills, they have a few key players listed on the injury report as well.
#Bills DL Marcell Dareus and LT Cordy Glenn, both of whom suffered ankle injuries Sunday, won't practice with the team today.

Defensive Tackle Marcell Dareus and left tackle Cordy Glenn are both listed as DNP. Also sitting out practice was former first-round pick, Shaq Lawson. So the Bills are entering the game pretty banged up as well.
