Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers injury report and starting lineup – NFL Week 12 

Adam D Anglo

The Denver Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers in the first of two AFC West divisional battles between the two sides in the 2021 NFL season.

The Broncos recorded a surprise 30-16 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 but followed that up with a 16-30 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Denver is currently 5-5 and sits at the bottom of the AFC West standings. A win on Sunday is imperative to keep their playoff hopes afloat.

The Chargers are looking well-placed to make it to the playoffs, provided they finish the season strong. Since their defeat against the New England Patriots, Los Angeles has recorded three straight wins and is second in the AFC West standings behind the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ahead of Sunday’s crucial contest, here’s the injury report and starting lineup for both teams.
