Broncos have 10 players on injured reserve entering Week 13

After placing running back J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve with a foot injury before their bye, the Denver Broncos have ten players on IR going into Week 13.

Dobbins suffered a serious Lisfranc injury in Week 10, and he likely won't be able to return this season unless the Broncos reach the Super Bowl. Other players on IR, such as linebacker Drew Sanders (foot) and guard Ben Powers (biceps), might be able to return sometime during the regular season.

Meanwhile, the Broncos have four players -- fullback Michael Burton, guard/center Nick Gargiulo, pass rusher Johnny Walker and defensive end Matt Henningsen -- on season-ending IR. They are not eligible to play again this season, barring a settlement and release from IR, which would allow them to join another club.

NFL teams can designate up to eight players to return from IR per season. The team has used four of those designations so far, including one for Sanders, who figures to be activated at some point in the coming weeks.
