The Denver Broncos will return home in Week 11 following a tough road stretch against Baltimore and Kansas City. They will face an NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons team.
The Broncos' injury report heading into this game is not overly concerning, but fans should keep an eye on a position that has been an issue all season: safety. Brandon Jones is listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week.
If Jones cannot play, Devon Key will likely be thrust into a starting role again and he has been... well, not good. What is also ironic is that the safety the Broncos moved on from this offseason, Justin Simmons, now plays for the Falcons.
Simmons says he does expect to be booed by Broncos fans.

Delarrin Turner-Yell has also been ruled out. He has yet to play in a game this season.
Brandon Jones question, Josh Reynolds not yet ready to return
The Broncos opened up the 21-day return window for Josh Reynolds earlier this week, but he won't suit up against Atlanta. His return will provide a big boost to the wide receiver position.
Linebacker Drew Sanders is also not ready to take the field. He has missed the entire season up to this point.
Looking at the injury report for the Falcons, the following players have been ruled out for the game:
CB Dee Alford
CB Mike Hughes
CB Antonio Hamilton Sr.
LB JD Bertrand
LB Troy Andersen
DL James Smith-Williams
TE Charlie Woerner
DL Ta'Quan Graham
Kickoff us set for 2:05 PM MT and the game will be televised on FOX. Kevin Kugler and Daryl Johnston will call the action.
