In the lead-up to the Broncos' crucial matchup against the Chiefs, doubts regarding linebacker Dre Greenlaw's availability have intensified. On Tuesday, December 23, 2025, Greenlaw did not participate in practice, marking his second consecutive absence following a hamstring injury sustained during the previous game against the Jaguars on December 21, 2025. He had played a substantial role in that game, contributing 50 out of 70 defensive snaps despite the Broncos suffering a loss. This hamstring concern has left fans and the team apprehensive about his fitness for the upcoming game. The Broncos' practice report revealed other notable non-participants alongside Greenlaw, including tight end Nate Adkins (knee), wide receiver Pat Bryant (concussion), and center Luke Wattenberg (shoulder), all of whom have not engaged in practices for some time. These absence factors paint a concerning picture of the team's health as they prepare to face a formidable opponent in the Chiefs. Key injuries could hinder the Broncos' performance and their chances in the critical game. In a parallel situation, the Philadelphia Eagles also faced attendance issues in their practice session on December 24, 2025. Notably, wide receiver A.J. Brown was sidelined due to a dental procedure, and linebacker Nakobe Dean, who has a hamstring injury, was deemed to have an uncertain status for the upcoming game against the Bills. Right tackle Lane Johnson and left guard Landon Dickerson also missed practice, contributing to growing concerns about the team's readiness as they gear up for their matchup. Head coach Vic Fangio publicly addressed the injury situation at a press conference, commenting on Dean's uncertain status. Without key players joining practice, both the Broncos and Eagles are left vulnerable as injuries accumulate. The coming days will undoubtedly be telling in terms of how these injuries will impact the squads and their strategies for the important games ahead.
