The Denver Broncos continue to sit on the good side of things when it comes to injuries this season. Heading into their Week 5 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Broncos have a nearly full bill of health.
Looking at the final injury report released by the team on Friday, only Tyler Badie, who no one would have expected to play, will be out. Badie suffered a scary injury last week against the New York Jets and there is no timetable for his return. The Broncos have yet to place him on injured reserve, but that remains a possibility.
Here is the status of the players who were in question this week:
| Player | Position | Injury | Game Status | |
| Tyler Badie | RB | Back | OUT | |
| JL Skinner | S | Ankle | Full Practice | |
| Josh Reynolds | WR | Foot | Full Practice | |
| Tremon Smith | CB | Hand | Full Practice |
Though the Broncos will have to find a new offensive sparkplug with Badie out, safety JL Skinner will return to the lineup after missing the last two games. He provides depth at a shallow safety position and is a solid special teams player.
The Broncos head into Week 5 at nearly full strength. The Raiders won't be able to say the same thing. They have seven players who have been ruled out for this game.
Davante Adams, WR
Zamir White, RB
Trey Taylor, S
Luke Masterson, LB
Michael Mayer, TE
Thayer Munford, OT
Decamerion Richarson, CB
In addition to that, Maxx Crosby, arguably the Raiders' best player, is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. He missed the team's Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns.
