The Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after conceding a safety in the third quarter against a Jets team that managed just 82 total net yards.

The team specifically requested not to have a bye after the London game so they could instead have a bye later in the season (their bye is scheduled for Week 12, Nov. 23).

Denver, though, has shown a vulnerability on its defensive second level. The team has Alex Singleton back, but the aging linebacker is coming off an ACL tear. Dre Greenlaw has also been out. The latter issue may be resolved soon. Greenlaw has returned to practice, per 9News’ Mike Klis, officially opening his 21-day IR-return window.

The Broncos are set to host receiver Treylon Burks on a free agent visit this week, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burks (6-2, 225 pounds) is a former first-round pick out of Arkansas who has drawn "significant interest" from NFL teams after being waived by the Tennessee Titans last week, per Rapoport.

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin is active and could make his season debut Sunday against the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
