Broncos have 6 players on injured reserve going into Week 4 - Broncos Wire

After placing running back Jonah Coleman (ankle) on injured reserve last week, the Denver Broncos have six players on IR as they approach Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season.

Three of those players — Coleman, offensive tackle Frank Crum and tight end Caleb Lohner — are on short-term injured reserve, which means they are eligible to return after four games (although Lohner is expected to be out until mid-season).

Another player, offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo, is on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list. He is also eligible to return after four games.

Denver has three players on season-ending IR: center Michael Deiter (quad), defensive end Matt Henningsen (Achilles) and linebacker Levelle Bailey (broken leg). The club cut linebacker Drew Sanders from IR before Week 1.

In addition to those players, outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper is on the commissioner's exempt list. That is not injury-related: Cooper has a trial by jury scheduled for mid-November related to his felony assault case.

With a 53-man roster and 17-player practice squad, Denver has 78 players under contract this fall.
