Denver Broncos safety Delarrin Turner-Yell, a second-year player known for his contributions on special teams, sustained a severe knee injury during the Broncos' 16-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Initially questionable to return, he was later seen on crutches with a brace on his left knee. Coach Sean Payton confirmed that Turner-Yell tore his ACL and will be placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. The development may open the door for rookie JL Skinner to become the primary backup safety. While Turner-Yell faces a long recovery, Payton was more optimistic about Mike McGlinchey's rib injury, though his status for the season finale in Las Vegas remains uncertain.
