Bolles spent time at an ambulance getting checked out before returning to the team's facility with trainers. Payton said he believed Bolles would be fine, but it is a situation worth monitoring. Bolles has spent all eight seasons with Denver.

Garett Bolles suffered a leg injury in the Broncos’ loss to the Colts Thursday and will miss the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact

A major loss for the Broncos’ offense as they lose the man that blocks Russell Wilson’s blindside. Bolles will undergo surgery and focus on rehab to be ready for the 2023 season. An already struggling offense will now have to fill a major hole in their offensive line.

Broncos OT Garett Bolles (illness) was placed on the injury report this morning after waking up feeling sick, making him questionable against the Panthers in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Bolles has played well for the Broncos in the midst of an injury-filled season, allowing zero sacks until Week 9 and playing a key role in their running game that flourished against the Chiefs in Week 13. If the former first-round tackle is unable to play in Week 14, the Broncos might rely more on QB Drew Lock to air it out against a Panthers defense that has allowed 19 passing touchdowns and nearly 375 yards of offense per game.

The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala is reporting that Denver's Garrett Bolles has returned to practice after leaving with a head injury earlier in the day.

This is welcome news to the Broncos. Bolles is a vital cog in what should be an improved offensive line tasked with protecting Case Keenum this season. Denver is banking on big strides being made by their 2017 first-round pick.

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Broncos left tackle Garrett Bolles was carted off the practice field on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

The injury is unknown at this time, but it would be a brutal blow to the Broncos offensive line, as they were hoping Bolles would solidify the left tackle position when they selected him in the first-round last year. They did sign Jared Veldheer in free agency, so he'd likely be the replacement while Menelik Watson would step in at right tackle. If Bolles were sidelined for an extended period of time, it'd be a downgrade to the entire offense, particularly the run-game.
