Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals injury report: Barrett and Brock sit out practice

The Denver Broncos and the Cincinnati Bengals have released their injury report ahead of their Sunday afternoon matchup. For the Broncos, they have two previously sidelined players returning to practice while two defensive veterans sit out practice.

For the Broncos, linebacker Shaquil Barrett sat out practice and will be sidelined for a few weeks with a hip injury. The other defensive veteran sitting out practice is cornerback Tramaine Brock. He is dealing with a rib injury.

Look for former first-round pick Shane Ray to get reps in place of Barrett while rookie Isaac Yiadom and 2017 third-round pick Brendan Langley would get reps in place of Tramaine Brock.

Returning to practice this week is linebacker Brandon Marshall and safety Dymonte Thomas. Rookie Josey Jewell has been starting in place of Marshall so it will be interesting to see how this plays out this upcoming weekend.

As for the Bengals, they had six players it out practice including defensive end Carlos Dunlap and tackle Cordy Glenn. However, they did receive some good news on the injury front. All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Green is expected to return from injury and play this weekend against the Broncos. A big return for the Bengals offense.
