Things are not looking good for the Denver Broncos. Coming out 0-2 from their first two games of the season, they are faced with formidable enemies in the Miami Dolphins. The Broncos need all their battle-hardened horses for the face-off with the Dolphins. But the last injury report before they ride out to Hard Rock Stadium paints a bleak picture.
Key players are nursing injuries and are highly unlikely to participate in the upcoming match. Only a miracle can save the Broncos from recording a loss for the third time this season.

It is likely that Delarrin Tuner-Yell will replace Simmons and will be positioned across from Kareem Jackson at Safety. Purcell’s absence on the defensive line will be compensated by Matt Henningsen and Elijah Garcia.
The Dolphins so far look like a team to be reckoned with and could be a potential playoff contender. Their offense has proven to be one of the best in the entire league this season. So, is it a foregone conclusion that the Broncos will lose once again?

The Dolphins will not be showing up with full strength either, as their roster is riddled with injuries. However, the main offensive players – QB Tua Tagovailoa and WR Tyreek Hill – will be playing. The best bet for the Broncos will be to limit the participation of these two players and to go full-on with their own offense.
