Jordan Jackson and Sai\u2019vion Jones will both be active to help fill the need there. Tight end Mercedes Lewis is inactive with Nate Adkins returning to the lineup. Pat Bryant is also back after his scary concussion two games ago. As expected, Dre Greenlaw is out again this week nursing a hamstring injury. Hopefully we\u2019ll see him ready to go for that first playoff game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the Los Angeles Chargers, they are resting four key players today: Quarterback Justin Herbert, running back Omarion Hampton, edge rusher Khalil Mack, and safety Derwin James Jr. While Mack is active, it seems he\u2019ll be primarily in a backup role. Also inactive will be fellow edge Tuli Tuipulotu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Denver is in a must-win situation in order to secure homefield advantage and the top seed in the AFC this season.
