The Broncos will be without outside linebacker Baron Browning not just this weekend, but for at least the next four games. Denver placed Browning on injured reserve Saturday and promoted wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey to the active roster to take his place, according to the league’s transaction wire. Browning, 25, missed all but 12 snaps of Denver’s Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh after injuring his left foot and had already been ruled out of Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay.

He takes the standard medications to treat symptoms. He even briefly tried out tai chi. Over the past couple of months, however, the 71-year-old’s discovered an effective form of therapy he may have never tried otherwise — one that takes him vertical.

If you looked at the 19 former Broncos nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week and wondered if any will reach Canton, the answer is no. This is written with no joy or satisfaction, but even the cases of receiver Demaryius Thomas (positional logjam), cornerback Aqib Talib (needed multiple All-Pro berths) and Tom Nalen (center is a forgotten position) face long odds.
