Broncos' KJ Hamler (concussion) doesn't practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler did not practice on Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

What It Means:

Hamler suffered a concussion in the team's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, getting ruled out midway through the contest. Starting the week off by not practicing - and thus, remaining in the NFL's concussion protocol - isn't a good sign as to being available for the season finale. If he can't go, DaeSean Hamilton would likely slot into the No. 3 receiver role. Keep an eye on his participation levels over the next few days.

In 13 games in his rookie season, Hamler has 30 catches on 56 targets for 381 yards and 3 touchdowns. Vegas currently ranks 30th in the NFL in adjusted net expected points allowed per pass play.
