Broncos promote three players, including offensive lineman Ortega, for Chiefs game

Summary

The Denver Broncos have added three players to their active roster for the Week 8 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Offensive lineman Gavin Ortega, safety Taylor Rapp, and running back Cody Schrader were all elevated from the practice squad. The Broncos will not have starting safety Talanoa Hufanga or running back RJ Harvey, who has been placed on injured reserve. Ortega's promotion is particularly significant as left tackle Garett Bolles is questionable due to a hip issue. Denver enters this contest on a three-game winning streak, while the Chiefs are coming off their first loss of the season.
