97 Billy Winn DE

Winn (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve Saturday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN reports.

Winn went down with a torn ACL in Thursday's preseason matchup against the Bears. As a result, the Broncos only have one healthy nose tackle in Domata Peko at the moment.

Winn suffered from a torn ACL in Thursday's preseason game against the Bears and has been ruled out for the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Broncos expected the worst after Winn was carted off the field Thursday, a fear that was confirmed when the backup nose tackle was ruled out for the year. With that, Domata Peko is the lone healthy nose tackle Denver currently has on their roster.

Winn (knee) will not return to Thursday's game against Chicago, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Winn was slated to split time with Domata Peko at nose tackle, but his injury could stall those plans. The 28-year-old is entering his sixth season in the league.

Winn signed a contract Wednesday with the Broncos, Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post reports.

Winn signed with the Broncos prior to training camp last season and went on to register 19 tackles over 16 games in 2016. He'll aim to win a backup gig along the defensive line once again in camp.

Winn (neck) does not appear on the Broncos' injury report Wednesday.

Winn injured his neck Sunday against the Jaguars. He isn't expected to miss any time, though, and his absence from the injury report only affirms that notion.
