The Story in 60 Seconds

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle reportedly has a chance to play in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs after aggravating a chest injury. Initial fears suggested Waddle may have sustained a severe collarbone injury during the fourth quarter against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but reports from Ian Rapoport and Mike Klis indicate the team avoided a major setback.

Waddle has recorded 26 receptions for 276 yards and one touchdown through seven games this season. Lou Scataglia writes that Denver's 5-2 offense depends heavily on keeping Waddle involved, noting that the unit should improve as the schedule eases and quarterback Bo Nix continues to settle in.
