The AM Denver team
If you're watching at 11 a.m. MT Sunday on CBS, expect changes in the secondary. Denver ruled out safety Brandon Jones, lineman Eyioma Uwazurike and cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine after none practiced for a third straight day. Jones played the first half in Kansas City before leaving with the hamstring injury.

Receiver Pat Bryant is questionable, but coach Sean Payton confirmed he will come off injured reserve. Carolina has a new defensive coordinator: it fired Ejiro Evero after a two-game skid and turned to interim DC Todd Wash.
- Hufanga: back at practice Thursday, first time since Week 5
- Bryant: last played Week 4 against the 49ers
- Tillman: added to the report Friday as a full participant
The matchup to watch is Patrick Surtain II against Tet McMillan, Carolina's lead receiver.
