As the New England Patriots gear up for the AFC championship game against the Denver Broncos, their practice report reveals several injury concerns. Key defensive players, including linebackers Christian Elliss and Harold Landry, along with starting right tackle Morgan Moses, are listed as limited or non-participants. This limited availability impacts crucial positions as they prepare to face the Broncos.
Cornerback Carlton Davis III, who sustained a head injury, was present at practice but in a limited capacity and a non-contact jersey, indicating he is still navigating concussion protocol. His status for the championship game remains uncertain pending clearance.
On the opposing side, the Denver Broncos are dealing with a significant blow. Starting quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle in their previous game and will miss the remainder of the season, forcing backup Jarrett Stidham into the starting role for the AFC championship.
Other notable Patriots participants included tight end Hunter Henry and tackle Thayer Munford Jr., who were limited for non-injury-related reasons or rest. Defensive tackle Joshua Farmer was a full participant after being on injured reserve.
