Broncos' Brandon Jones: Ruled out for rest of Sunday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Jones entered Sunday's matchup with a questionable tag after suffering a hamstring injury at practice during the week. Although the safety was ultimately able to play, it's possible that he tweaked the injury during the game, and he will now have to shift his sights to Week 9. In his absence, Taylor Rapp and Devon Key will operate as Denver's two primary safeties against Kansas City.

Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Jones may have tweaked his hamstring during Week 8 prep, seeing as he popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant. Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) has already been ruled out, and if he's joined by Jones on the sidelines, then the Broncos would have to rely more heavily on Devon Key, JL Skinner and Jahdae Barron in the secondary.

Broncos' Brandon Jones: Dealing with pec injury
Rotowire
Jones is set to undergo an MRI after sustaining a pec injury in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Texas product played just 51 percent of the Broncos' defensive snaps in the Week 15 win due to a pec injury. Jones is an integral part of Denver's secondary, recording 78 total tackles and seven passes defensed, including one interception, across 14 appearances this season.

Broncos' Brandon Jones: No practice to begin week
Rotowire
Jones (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
The Broncos didn't actually take the field for practice, but it wasn't a positive start to the week for Jones. He played in 96 percent of defensive snaps in Week 9 and logged six tackles, so it's unclear how serious the injury is. Jones' participation for the rest of the week should give a clearer indication of whether he'll be available for Thursday's matchup against the Raiders.
