EDGE Analysis

Ware suffered a back strain during Week 5 of this season, which initially came with a two-week timetable for his return. Since the Broncos' bye week landed in Week 7, Ware ultimately only missed one game due to the ailment. However, after re-injuring his back Sunday, Ware is thought no need a similar period of time to return once again, putting his status in considerable doubt for this weekend's game against the Chiefs. While Ware is recovering, rookie Shaquil Barrett figures to get further opportunities to continue his impressive play of late.

EDGE Analysis

Ware has been dealing with a back strain injury, which he suffered almost a month ago. The severity of the injury is still unknown. Look for Shaquil Barrett to play in Ware's place for the rest of the game.
