ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos released an initial injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The game was initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football but was flexed into the afternoon with a 2:05 kickoff.

Here are the key points:

Courtland Sutton left Sunday’s game at halftime with a hamstring injury. He didn’t practice on Wednesday, and coach Nathaniel Hackett indicated that he won’t play this week.
Guard Dalton Risner missed practice with a shoulder injury. He was limited for two practices last week with a shoulder injury, but Wednesday was the first time he didn’t participate.
The Chiefs are remarkably healthy, with only two players not participating fully in the first practice of the week. Both linebacker Nick Bolton and wide receiver Kadarius Toney were limited.

Here’s the most recent update to the injury report:
