Wattenberg (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured List on Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Wattenberg has dealt with an ankle injury since the middle of training camp, and the nagging issue will now sideline him for at least Denver's next four games. He worked as the team's primary center through the first five games, and Alex Forsyth is now the best bet to take over Watteberg's vacated role.

Wattenberg (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured List on Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Wattenberg has dealt with an ankle injury since the middle of training camp, and the nagging issue will now sideline him for at least Denver's next four games. He worked as the team's primary center through the first five games, and Alex Forsyth is now the best bet to take over Watteberg's vacated role.
Wattenberg (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. The third-year offensive lineman out of Washington was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury, so it's no surprise he won't suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. Expect Alex Forsyth to serve as Denver's top center in Wattenberg's stead.
Wattenberg (ankle) is absent from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game versus the Steelers. After playing every snap in Week 1, Wattenberg kicked the week off as a non-participant at practice due to an ankle issue. He saw his participation increase each day as the week went on, so it looks like Denver was just erring on the side of caution with its starting center. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role versus Pittsburgh.
Wattenberg (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Wattenberg played all 69 offensive snaps for the Broncos during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks, but the 2022 fifth-round pick appears to have tweaked his ankle during the contest. Wattenberg will have a chance to participate in practice Thursday and Friday to prepare for Week 2 against Pittsburgh. Sunday was Wattenberg's first start since Week 13 of the 2022 season.
