The Denver Broncos are dealing with the setback of running back Audric Estime being placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, which will sideline him for at least four games.
In Estime's absence, undrafted rookie Blake Watson could make his NFL debut, providing hope for a struggling rushing attack alongside Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin. Head coach Sean Payton praised Watson's skills, particularly his ability in the passing game and football IQ, which were showcased during the preseason.
