A day after canceling practice for the first time this season, the Broncos' coronavirus problem got worse Friday.

Receiver Jerry Jeudy and outside linebacker Bradley Chubb are among those who tested positive Friday, coach Vic Fangio said, ruling them out for Sunday's game at the Los Angeles Chargers. Jeudy and Chubb make it at least seven Denver starters on the COVID-19/reserve list.

Fangio said there could end up being "15 to 18" Broncos on the list when the results are finalized later Friday. Courtland Sutton could also be among them. Fangio said there's been no talks yet between the league and the team about postponing Sunday's game.

"Until I'm told otherwise, I'm ready for a 1:05 kickoff West Coast time," Fangio said.

Right tackle Bobby Massie and cornerback Bryce Callahan were added to the list Thursday, after placing Tim Patrick and dime back Caden Sterns on the list Wednesday. Nose tackle Mike Purcell was also placed on the list earlier in the week, but still has a good chance to clear protocols for Sunday, Fangio said.

Additionally, tackle Calvin Anderson (on injured reserve), outside linebacker Andre Mintze, outside linebacker Stephen Weatherly, cornerback/special teamer Mike Ford and practice squad wideout Tyrie Cleveland remain in COVID protocols and none of those reserves will be cleared by Sunday.

Fangio said defensive line coach Bill Kollar is also in COVID protocols and out for Sunday. Fangio said Mike Hiestand will take over Kollar's duties.

The Broncos will now face the Chargers without their starting quarterback (Teddy Bridgewater remains in concussion protocol), two of their top three receivers (Patrick, Jeudy), three of their top four outside linebackers (Chubb, Cooper and Weatherly), their nickel and dime backs (Callahan and Sterns, respectively) and an offensive line starter (Massie).

Inside linebacker Kenny Young (concussion) and Ronald Darby (shoulder) are questionable, Fangio said.
