The Broncos activated McGlinchey (knee) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday night's game against the Saints, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official site reports. McGlinchey landed on IR due a knee injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Steelers. His practice window opened Tuesday, and his ability to log a full practice Wednesday indicates that he's in line to return for Thursday's contest. McGlinchey started the first two games of the regular season at right tackle, and he should reclaim his starting job.

The Broncos activated McGlinchey (knee) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday night's game against the Saints, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official site reports. McGlinchey landed on IR due a knee injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Steelers. His practice window opened Tuesday, and his ability to log a full practice Wednesday indicates that he's in line to return for Thursday's contest. McGlinchey started the first two games of the regular season at right tackle, and he should reclaim his starting job.
The Broncos designated McGlinchey (knee) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports. McGlinchey was able to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough in a limited fashion, and he could be available to return for Thursday's game against the Saints. The 2018 first-round pick sprained his MCL in Week 2 against the Steelers.
The Broncos placed McGlinchey (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday. This move comes as no surprise, as Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Monday that McGlinchey was expected to miss one month after suffering a significant MCL sprain in Week 2. With McGlinchey sidelined for at least the next four games, Alex Palczewski appears to be next in line for Denver at right tackle.
McGlinchey sustained a significant MCL sprain during Sunday's loss to the Steelers and is expected to miss about a month, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Garafolo also reported that evaluations are ongoing and McGlinchey's recovery timeline could be flexible, but he'll be sidelined for the immediate future regardless. With McGlinchey expected to miss roughly one month, expect Frank Crum or Matt Peart to assume the Broncos' top right tackle duties.
McGlinchey exited Sunday's contest against the Steelers in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injury, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. McGlinchey appeared to be favoring his left leg on his way off the field, but his exact injury is currently unknown. In his absence, Matt Peart is the most likely candidate to play right tackle.
The Broncos restructured McGlinchey's (ribs) contract Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. The 29-year-old offensive lineman had been dealing with a ribs issue towards the end of Denver's 2023 campaign, but it seems as if he's moved past the issue. By restructuring McGlinchey's contract, the Broncos were able to create another $11 million in cap space, per Yates. McGlinchey still has four years remaining on his contract and he's expected to remain Denver's starting right tackle in 2024.
