Denver's Week 3 prep centers on health as three big free‑agent signings enter a pivotal moment: Dre Greenlaw and Evan Engram miss practice with injuries, while Talanoha Hufanga is limited by a chest issue. The Broncos head to SoFi to face the Los Angeles Chargers, testing depth and game plan as Engram's back/calf saga and Greenlaw's delayed debut loom over the offense and defense. Adkins could rise if Engram is sidelined, adding a blocking presence for Bo Nix and the run game. Rest days and the final injury report will shape Week 3 availability.

Engram’s calf injury carried over from the opener, and his 500th career catch remains a glimmer of late-season upside for a unit that has struggled for consistency. Sutton’s rhythm has been uneven, while Adkins’ full practice return offers a potential path to more blocking and short-yardage snaps. The Chargers game becomes a test of Broncos’ depth and the coaching staff’s willingness to lean on youth and rest days to reset for Week 3.
