The Broncos are expected to let Gotsis (knee) hit free agency in March, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gotsis was moved to a reserve role even before sustaining an ACL injury Week 4 of the 2019 season, so Denver's decision to part ways with the 27-year-old doesn't come as much of a surprise. Having undergone ACL repair surgery in December, Gotsis' best-case scenario for a return would be as early as August, but he has a real chance of missing up to the first month of the 2020 regular season.

The Broncos placed Gotsis (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gotsis underwent surgery to address an ACL injury Dec. 19, so his placement on IR doesn't come as any sort of a surprise. In a corresponding move, the Broncos have promoted offensive lineman Quinn Bailey to the active roster from the practice squad.

Gotsis underwent surgery on his knee Wednesday and will land on injured reserve, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vic Fangio said that Gotsis' knee surgery is related to his ACL, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post, but the severity of his injury remains undisclosed. The 2016 second-round pick is set to be placed on season-ending IR in the near future. He notched 16 tackles (11 solo) and two defended passes across nine contests in 2019.

Gotsis (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gotsis is trending toward a missing a second straight contest due to his knee injury. The 2016 second-round pick will have two more opportunities to resume practicing before the Broncos make a decision on his Week 16 availability.

Gotsis (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gotsis sandwiched two absences around a limited practice Thursday and won't go Sunday. Kyle Peko just joined the roster and could see snaps against Kansas City.

Gotsis (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2016 second-round pick averages 31.6 defensive snaps per game, registering 16 tackles (10 solo) and two pass breakups through nine outings. If he's unable to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs, it would hurt the depth of the Broncos' defensive line, which already is without Derek Wolfe (elbow) for the season while Dre'Mont Jones (ankle) will likely miss Week 15.

Gotsis tallied a sack and two tackles Monday in the Broncos' 27-14 loss to the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Broncos' 3-4 defensive alignment doesn't afford Gotsis many favorable pass-rushing opportunities, he's now notched sacks in back-to-back weeks. Even so, his ceiling is still far lower in IDP circles than outside linebackers Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, who both surprisingly failed to provide much pressure on quarterback Derek Carr on Monday.

Gotsis recorded four tackles (two solo) and a sack during Sunday's 23-22 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Gotsis managed to bring down Philip Rivers for his first sack of 2018 and the third one of his three-year career. The defensive end also has eight tackles over his past two contests after accumulating just four in the three games prior.

Gotsis (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's tilt against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Gotsis was correct when he claimed his availability for Week 5 wouldn't be impacted by a minor knee issue, so he'll start at defensive end across from Derek Wolfe.

Gotsis (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ryan O'Halloran of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gotsis is personally confident in his availability for Sunday, but he was limited Thursday and Friday after failing to practice Wednesday. If he were to suffer any sort of setback, DeMarcus Walker and Zach Kerr could see additional snaps at defensive end across from Derek Wolfe.
