The Denver player will miss a significant amount of time.

Denver Broncos manager Sean Payton revealed today that left guard Ben Powers will be out for a significant period with a biceps problem.

The organization shared that Ben sustained torn biceps in Denver’s final offensive series in the Broncos’ 21-17 win vs. the Eagles over the past weekend in Philly. The left guard finished the match despite the injury.

He didn’t travel with Denver to the UK and has had a procedure to repair his arm. Today was the 1st day the head coach of the Broncos publicly talked about the left guard problem. Ben is expected to be out at least 8 weeks, and other footballers with similar problems have missed an entire campaign.

“With a starting footballer, it is a huge problem, but the next player must be ready to replace him,” the Denver boss shared after his team’s training today.

The head coach didn’t reveal who will start in Powers’ place in the upcoming match, but Matt Peart was used as a left guard during the practice. Powers had appeared in 40 straight matches before suffering the injury, including a postseason defeat against the Bills in January.
