Brandon Johnson In Line For Bigger Role In Week 17

With Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (concussion) ruled out for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers and with Jerry Jeudy (illness) and rookie Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) questionable to play, pass-catcher Brandon Johnson will inevitably have a bigger role in the passing game on Sunday.
