The Broncos are going to be without Mike McGlinchey for at least the next four games. Denver placed its starting right tackle on injured reserve Wednesday, the team announced, after he sprained his left MCL in Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh.

The Denver Broncos will promote outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Wednesday, according to a report from KUSA-TV's Mike Klis. Denver will need to create a spot for Tillman on the active roster.

McGlinchey played 100 percent of Denver's offensive snaps in Week 1 against Seattle. He suffered an injury during the fourth quarter of Denver's home opener against the Steelers. Head Coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Alex Palczewski would replace McGlinchey in the Broncos' starting lineup.
