Denver's offensive line lost a cornerstone as Ben Powers landed on IR with a biceps injury, likely sidelining him through December after Sunday’s road victory over the defending champs. Powers started every game since joining in 2023, and his absence immediately tempers a top-ranked unit that has steadied the Broncos’ run game and protection.

Denver will pivot to internal options, with Alex Palczewski, Matt Peart, or Alex Forsyth lining up at left guard as Nick Gargiulo’s injury-underlined absence leaves a thinner room. Palczewski has previous in-game LG experience and has filled in for McGlinchey; Peart could slide inside, and Forsyth adds depth. The London showdown with the Jets will test the reshuffled line and the offense without Powers’ steady presence.
