The Broncos could be without one of their best players for a while. Garett Bolles suffered an ankle injury that could sideline Denver’s starting left tackle.

The good news is X-rays on Garett Bolles left ankle were negative. Bad news is there's fear he suffered a pretty significant high ankle sprain, per source. More will be known after MRI exam tomorrow. #9sports

If he can’t go, the Broncos will turn to Calvin Anderson in relief. On Monday, Vic Fangio expressed total confidence in the young offensive lineman.

Fangio on Calvin Anderson if he has to replace Bolles for awhile: “I have total confidence in Calvin Anderson. Calvin is a good offensive lineman.” #9sports
