However, he won't suit up for a fourth consecutive contest. Hufanga is seemingly moving in the right direction, so there's a chance he will be back on the field in Week 11, following the Broncos' bye.

• Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Week 9 return uncertain

  Rotowire Nov 6, 2026

  Hufanga (ankle) is questionable to play against Carolina on Sunday. Hufanga missed each of Denver's past three contests due to an ankle injury. He was able to return to practice this week with limited sessions Thursday and Friday, but it's unclear if that will be enough for him to suit up Sunday. Fellow safety Brandon Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9, so it could be Devon Key and JL Skinner starting Sunday if Hufanga is ruled out.

• Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Leads Denver in tackles

  Rotowire Sep 8, 2025

  Hufanga recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans. Hufanga's Broncos debut was impressive to say the least, as the veteran safety already looks like one of the best free-agent signings the organization made this offseason. The 25-year-old was an every-down player in Week 1 and was consistently making plays all over the field. Hufanga's forced fumble early in the second quarter was quickly recovered by fellow safety Brandon Jones, ending a Titans drive that was already in scoring range. Hufanga, who led Denver in tackles Sunday, will look to carry this momentum into a Week 2 matchup against the Colts.
