Five won’t fly

Cox

The Denver Broncos depart for London, England in a few hours, but injuries will keep a handful of Broncos from making the trip.

Head coach Josh McDaniels ruled out two more players Thursday, bringing the grand total of Broncos ruled out for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers to five.

CB Perrish Cox (concussion) and DL Kevin Vickerson (groin) will not travel, along with (previously announced) LB Robert Ayers (foot), S Darcel McBath (ankle), and LB Wesley Woodyard (hamstring).

The Broncos signed DL Le Kevin Smith to add depth at defensive line in Vickerson’s absence.
