US EditionDenver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers: TV Channel, Time, What to Know
The Chargers will rest multiple starters including QB Justin Herbert, while Broncos aim to secure a top AFC seed with key players managing injuries, coach Sean Payton said.
- Denver Broncos control their destiny as they host the Los Angeles Chargers at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday, Jan. 4, with a win locking up the AFC's top seed.
- Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Chargers announced they'd rest key players, and Wednesday practice limited or sidelined Keenan Allen, Derwin James, Khalil Mack, and Justin Herbert.
- On Wednesday, the Broncos reported that inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw did not practice as he nurses a hamstring sustained in Week 16, while rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant and tight end Nate Adkins practiced fully and are on track to play Sunday.
- Beyond this week, Greenlaw's availability means the Broncos could save $9 million on the salary cap with a post-June 1 cut, as most missed time was injury-related plus a suspension for 'threatening' a referee.
- Coach Sean Payton said `Our focus is on this game and winning this game`, while Joe Lombardi noted drops rose from 4% in 2023 to 7.5%, above the 6.2 threshold.
