Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles and cornerback Ronald Darby sustained season-ending injuries in Thursday’s 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Bolles fractured his lower right leg late in the fourth quarter after Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner rolled up on him while tackling Broncos running back Mike Boone. Bolles was in tears while being carted off the field.

Per Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett, inside linebacker Josey Jewell is week-to-week with a knee sprain and outside linebacker Baron Browning is day-to-day with a wrist sprain.

“Injuries are a thing that, as a coach, I can’t control. I mean, especially the ones that we’re having,” Hackett said Friday. “It’s not things that guys are going to be able to come back from. They’re long-term things and that’s a part of this game.

“As a coach, I can’t control it, I can only move forward. I can only go to the drawing board, grind and try to find ways to put people in good positions. The new guys that are going to have to go in there, we have to find a way to make those guys successful. That’s our job and it crushes me because they’re such good guys and they’ve worked so hard.”

Bolles, 30, has started all 82 games in which he has played since being selected by Denver with the 20th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Darby, 28, sustained a torn ACL during the second quarter on Thursday.

He has 14 tackles, three pass deflections and one forced fumble in five games this season for the Broncos (2-3).

Darby has totaled 373 tackles and eight interceptions in 89 career games (88 starts) with the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders and Broncos.

Jewell, 27, has 30 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in three games this season.

Browning, 23, has eight tackles and 1.5 sacks in five games this season.
