Broncos lose a defensive lineman for the remainder of the season

The Broncos came out of their game against the Raiders relatively healthy. But they weren’t totally unscathed.

It was reported on Tuesday that defensive lineman DeShawn Williams suffered an injury that will sideline him for the remaining two weeks of the season.

DeShawn Williams got his left elbow hyperextended in blocks during Jacobs run with 3:49 left in game. Knew it right away. Will miss final two games. #9sports

Williams appeared in all 15 of the Broncos games thus far in 2021. He recorded 39 total tackles, one tackle for a loss and one sack.

The 29-year-old defensive lineman is already looking forward to 2022.

Hate I can’t finish the last two games, nothing like playing for my brothers. Playing ball is my joy, want to say thank you #BroncosCountry for the support. Heeling up for next year is 💪🏾🙏🏾🦍 pic.twitter.com/CPfKLEzkQC
