The Denver Broncos are placing cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) on injured reserve. The team considers tight end Jeff Heuerman (knee) and offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James (knee) doubtful to play Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
If Heuerman is inactive this week, Troy Fumagalli and Andrew Beck will likely get more snaps than usual at tight end. If James is inactive, Elijah Wilkinson will fill in again at right tackle.
