Running back RJ Harvey and safety Talanoa Hufanga will be unavailable when the Broncos play the Chiefs, with knee and ankle injuries, respectively. The team's injury report lists receiver Jaylen Waddle as questionable because of a chest injury.

The uncertainty over Waddle comes as he leads the Broncos in receiving, with 276 yards from 26 receptions. Harvey is next in both categories: his 25 catches have produced 217 yards. On the ground, Harvey has gained 87 yards over 24 carries.

Waddle took part in practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. Harvey's addition to the injury report came Thursday, when his participation was limited; he did not practice Friday.

Hamstring injuries also leave defensive lineman Zach Allen and safety Brandon Jones questionable. Offensive tackle Garrett Bolles has the same designation because of a hip injury.

The Broncos expect four players to play after removing them from the injury report. They are receiver Marvin Mims Jr. and cornerback Pat Surtain II, who had ankle injuries, inside linebacker Karene Reid, who had an elbow injury, and defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, who had a neck injury.
