Broncos' Alex Forsyth: Not playing in AFC Championship
Rotowire
Forsyth (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Forsyth injured his ankle during the Broncos' AFC divisional-round victory over the Bills, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's Championship Game. The good news for Denver is that Luke Wattenberg (shoulder) -- who opened the season as the starting center -- was cleared to play Sunday after being activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Broncos' Alex Forsyth: Questionable with ankle issue
Rotowire
Forsyth (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.
Forsyth suffered an ankle injury in last Saturday's overtime playoff victory over the Bills. The center was able to log three consecutive limited practices this week and has a chance to be available for Sunday's game. The 26-year-old will likely be taking a backseat to Luke Wattenberg (shoulder) this week, as the former starting center may finally be able to return from injured reserve.

Broncos' Alex Forsyth: Picked up by Denver
Rotowire
The Broncos selected Forsyth in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 257th overall.
Forsyth (6-foot-4, 303 pounds) has a better frame than most centers as well as adequate reach (32 and 3/4-inch arms), but the Oregon product is probably a bit light on raw talent. Forsyth's 20.5-inch vertical from the combine is memorably bad, and his 95-inch broad jump isn't much better. Forsyth will need to succeed with technique.
