ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos will be without a reserve tackle for the second consecutive week.

Denver ruled out tackle Frank Crum (illness) for a Wild Card Weekend matchup with the Bills. Crum missed Denver's Week 18 game vs. the Chiefs and did not participate in practice this week.

Running back Tyler Badie (back) is listed as questionable for this week's matchup after being a full participant in all three practices this week. Badie would need to be activated to the 53-man roster to play against Buffalo.

Tight end Nate Adkins (abdomen), guard Ben Powers (not injury related – rest) and cornerback Damarri Mathis (back) were all full participants on Friday and were not assigned game statuses, indicating they will be available for Sunday's game. Mathis did not practice on Thursday and was limited on Wednesday.

The Broncos will take on the Bills in the team's first postseason game since the 2015 season at 11 a.m. MT on Sunday.
