What happened: Powers sustained the foot injury in mid-December against Jacksonville, his first game back. He finished the game despite the fracture.

Why it matters: The injuries add context to Denver's decision to retain the guard for the upcoming season. Powers enters the final year of a $52 million deal after agreeing to a restructure that lowered his 2026 cap hit.

By the numbers: Powers returned from a torn biceps and sustained a Lisfranc fracture in the same game.

What to watch: His participation during training camp will indicate how Denver manages his workload before the season.
