The Broncos will be without safety JL Skinner for the second week in a row but wide receiver Josh Reynolds and tight end Nate Adkins each shook off injury issues and were able to turn in a full practice on Friday.
Skinner is dealing with an ankle injury but he is still a player the team is using mostly for special teams. Brandon Jones stepped up in a big way for the team last week, intercepting a pass thrown by Baker Mayfield in the first quarter that set the tone for the remainder of the day. P.J. Locke is holding the other safety spot down well and the duo of Devon Key and Keidron Smith will be ready if called upon.
Key has seen a small handful of defensive snaps this season but he and Smith have been used primarily for special teams.
As for the Jets, it looks like they will be without offensive tackle Morgan Moses and veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley.
Final injury report for Jets-Broncos: LB C.J. Mosley (toe) listed as doubtful after not practicing this week (he did some light jogging with teammates during warmups today but started individual drills on the stationary bike). He’ll likely miss his second straight game. pic.twitter.com/pWJJDX1x5R

Mosley will be his second straight game, meaning Jamien Sherwood will get the start in his place. On the other side of the ball, the loss of Moses opens the door for first-round pick Olu Fashanu to make his first career start. How he handles the pass rush at right tackle could be one of the keys to this game.
The Broncos and Jets kick off at 11:00 am MT and the game will be televised on CBS. Ian Eagle and Charles Davis will have the call.
