The Denver Broncos (0-5) are still looking for that first win of the season as they hit the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) in Week 5. They are actually getting a little healthier this week with both Josey Jewell and Ja’Wuan James possibly getting back into game action.
Head Coach Vic Fangio confirmed that Kareen Jackson will likely be good to go, so that will be a huge boost on the defensive side of the ball.
“He’s questionable,” Fangio said of Jackson. “But I think he’ll be able to make it.”
The Chargers are dealing with their own injury apocalypse to start the season, which seems like an every year kind of deal for them. If the Broncos can steal one away from them this week it would go a long way to turning things around for this beleaguered Broncos squad.
