The Denver Broncos announced on October 2 that pass rusher Dondrea Tillman has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury ahead of their Week 4 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Tillman's absence adds to the Broncos' challenges, as Jonathon Cooper is also unavailable while on the commissioner's exempt list. Behind Nik Bonitto, Jonah Elliss, and Que Robinson, the team has the option to promote one of three outside linebackers from the practice squad for extra depth. Other roster updates include wide receivers Marvin Mims and Jaylen Waddle, along with running back J.K. Dobbins, all cleared to play. The game is set for Sunday at 2:25 p.m. MT, with the Broncos facing one of the league's undefeated teams.
