Broncos right guard Graham Glasgow’s knee injury will keep him out of Sunday’s game against Baltimore, coach Vic Fangio said Friday.
Glasgow, who missed the Week 2 win at Jacksonville following an irregular heartbeat episode during the Week 1 win at the New York Giants, will be replaced by Netane Muti.
Left guard Dalton Risner (foot), who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, did limited work Friday and is listed as questionable.
“I did watch him a little bit (in practice),” Fangio said. “Everything is open with Dalton — he could be out, he could dress and be a back-up, he could dress and play.” Rookie Quinn Meinerz would take over for Risner if there is an issue.
Players listed as questionable: Risner, running back Melvin Gordon (ribs/lower leg), outside linebacker Andre Mintze (hamstring), inside linebacker Baron Browning (back) and defensive ends Shelby Harris (wrist/illness) and Dre’Mont Jones (calf).
Browning (did not practice) and Jones (limited) were added to the injury report and Harris went from full work on Thursday to limited.
Running back Mike Boone (quad) remains on injured reserve, but practiced all week.
“Not sure,” Fangio said when asked if Boone would be active. “We may wait another week on him.” When Boone is activated, the Broncos must make a corresponding roster move.
Receiver David Moore, signed off Las Vegas’ practice squad on Tuesday, will be active.
Jackson practices. In Baltimore, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) practiced fully after missing two days of work.
Of facing Jackson and the Ravens’ offense, Broncos defensive coordinator Ed Donatell said: “Itap probably the biggest discrepancy in schemes that you’ll find in the league when you have to play their whole attack. He’s special. We have to change how we play. Itap a challenge for us as coaches and players to be something different to go against them because itap unique in whatap required.”
Fangio saluted the Broncos’ scout team for giving the starting defense good practice looks this week. He said assistant offensive line coach Chris Kuper, defensive quality control Nathaniel Willingham and assistant defensive line coach Mike Heistand led the way.
“Everybody chipped in and they all did a good job,” Fangio said.
Respect for Tucker. Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker comes to town after hitting an NFL record-breaking 66-yard field goal last week at Detroit to win the game.
Tucker’s field goal percentage of 90.6 is the best in NFL history.
Broncos special teams coordinator Tom McMahon said Tucker belongs in the conversation among the NFL all-time greats, including Adam Vinatieri, who McMahon coached in Indianapolis. He was also on the Atlanta staff when Morten Andersen and Jason Elam kicked for the Falcons.
“Itap the same ball all the time (for Tucker) and thatap the key to those great guys,” McMahon said.
Footnotes. Cornerback Ronald Darby (hamstring) did side-field work Friday and is eligible to come off injured reserve next week at Pittsburgh. “I have to see him (work) first (before deciding),” Fangio said. “Usually with hamstrings, a good rule of thumb is when they say they’re ready and cleared, itap best to wait a week.” … Fangio said cornerback Michael Ojemudia (hamstring), also on injured reserve, missed time this week with an illness.
