Denver Broncos Week 17 injury report: Updates on Troy Franklin, Jaleel McLaughlin and more

The Denver Broncos have performed above expectations and are in the playoff race in Week 17. The Sean Payton-coached Broncos are playing defensively sound and offensively savvy football, and they're within touching distance of a playoff berth.

Let's examine injury updates for some of the team's key players ahead of their pivotal Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Denver Broncos Week 17 injury report

Troy Franklin's injury update

According to the Denver Broncos' website, Troy Franklin enters Week 17 without an injury designation. The wide receiver started the week on the injury report due to an ankle issue, but that didn't stop him from participating fully in every training session.

Hence, Franklin looks set to feature against the Cincinnati Bengals. The shifty wide receiver will look to catch passes from Bo Nix and torch an iffy Cincinnati Bengals secondary in Week 17.

Jaleel McLaughlin's injury update

According to Fantasy Pros, Jaleel McLaughlin has no injury designation ahead of the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The running back started the week on the injury report due to a quad injury but looks to have shaken it off in time to contribute against the Bengals.

The Denver Broncos running back was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session but participated fully on Wednesday and Thursday. Hence, he's well poised to rack up the yards against a Bengals side that has struggled all season.

Tyler Badie's injury update

According to CBS Sports, Tyler Badie is questionable for his side's Saturday fixture against fellow playoff chasers, the Cincinnati Bengals. The running back remains on the injured reserve but looks close to suiting up for the Broncos.

Badie suffered a back injury in October and was promptly placed on the IR. However, he's ramped up his recovery process and is now fresh off three full practice sessions. It won't be a surprise if Sean Payton gives him some carries against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Riley Moss' injury update

According to Yahoo Sports, Riley Moss is available for selection against the Cincinnati Bengals. The running back enters the game without an injury designation and could be a factor against the playoff-chasing Bengals on Saturday.

Moss was a full participant in every training session in the lead-up to the game, and Sean Payton has said that he's good to go. Hence, expect Moss to feature at cornerback against one of the most impressive offenses in the league, headlined by the Triple Crown chasing Ja'Marr Chase.
