ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (KDVR) — The Denver Broncos placed wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and cornerback Ronald Darby on injured reserved Tuesday.

Jeudy suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Head coach Vic Fangio said “everything else checked out good” regarding the injury.

Jeudy posted on his Instagram page that he’ll “be back soon.”

Darby suffered a hamstring injury as well in the first game of the season. He played all 61 plays versus the Giants.

Both players must sit out the next three games before being eligible to join the 53-man roster.

The Broncos have promoted wide receiver Kendall Hinton and cornerback Nate Hairston to the active roster.
