The Denver Broncos have edged out a pair of wins in their first game for a strong start to the 2018 season that has put them squarely atop of the AFC West alongside the Kansas City Chiefs.
However, quarterback Case Keenum will not practice on Wednesday due to knee soreness that had arisen after Sunday's comeback 20-19 win over the Oakland Raiders, according to Mike Klis 9news.com.
Broncos quarterback Case Keenum will not practice Wednesday because of knee soreness, a league source told 9NEWS.
Keenum received treatment on the knee following the game Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. The knee soreness is considered mild — he is expected to practice Thursday and play Sunday at Baltimore against the Ravens.
This is an injury that will keep the 30-year-old off the field on Wednesday, but he is expected to be back later in the week to get further prepared for Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Keenum has had his fair share of struggles in his first two games with the Broncos as he has completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 551 yards with three touchdowns, four interceptions, and a 73.7 passer rating.
He has struggled to throw the ball with consistency, but he has done enough to help will his team to a pair of wins that included erasing a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Raiders last Sunday that saw him orchestrated two scoring drives. This was capped off by a 10-play 62-yard drive that put his team in the position to win the game on a 36-yard field goal by kicker Brandon McManus with six seconds left in regulation.
Keenum has a formidable challenge ahead against the Ravens, who hold the third-ranked pass defense that is allowing a league-best 46.7 percent opposing quarterback completion rate and only 4.8 yards per attempt.
