Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Out for Week 6
Rotowire
Elliss (ribs/shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Elliss' absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the 22-year-old missed Denver's entire week of practice due to rib and shoulder injuries likely sustained in the Week 5 win over the Eagles. Que Robinson and Dondrea Tillman could receive increased defensive snaps as reserve outside linebackers while Elliss is sidelined in Week 6.

Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Sits out another practice
Rotowire
Ellis (ribs/shoulder) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Elliss has now missed back-to-back practices, so it seems like he's facing long odds to be ready for Sunday's game against the Jets in London. For any chance at being cleared to play Week 6, the second-year pro will need to get back on the practice field as at least a limited participant Friday.

Rotowire

Broncos' Riley Moss: Stout in coverage vs. Bengals
Rotowire
Moss recorded two tackles (two solo) during Monday's 28-3 win versus Cincinnati.
Moss' mark in the box score wasn't awe-inspiring in Week 4, but he was a big part of the reason why Denver held Bengals wideouts to just 64 combined receiving yards. He's been solid in coverage generally to start the season, and he's also normally an opportunistic tackler for a cornerback. Moss could easily post a better tackle total come Week 5 at Philadelphia.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Jones recorded three tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
Jones tallied fewer than seven tackles for the first time this season in Week 4, albeit in a game in which Denver's defense only had to be on the field for 43 snaps.
