What happened: The Denver Broncos ruled out running back RJ Harvey for Sunday's divisional game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a knee injury. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is listed as questionable with a chest issue after participating on a limited basis in practice.

Why it matters: Denver (5-2) has won three straight games and enters the weekend holding the No. 5 seed in the AFC. Kansas City (5-1) sits atop the conference standings but is looking to rebound after a 20-3 loss in Seattle. Harvey's absence limits the Broncos' backfield rotation in a matchup with major divisional implications.

By the numbers: • Denver Broncos: 5-2, 3-game win streak, No. 5 seed in AFC (won 30-16 at Arizona on Oct. 25) • Kansas City Chiefs: 5-1, 1-game losing streak, No. 1 seed in AFC (lost 20-3 at Seattle on Oct. 25)

What to watch: The Broncos will finalize their active roster ahead of Sunday's kickoff against Kansas City. Waddle's availability will be determined during pregame evaluations.
