Denver Broncos left guard Ben Powers has surgery to repair a torn left bicep and is expected to miss at least two months, if not longer.
The injury occurred near the end of the Broncos' 21-17 road win on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles while protecting quarterback Bo Nix as he completed a pass to tight end Adam Trautman.
Head coach Sean Payton confirmed the injury on Wednesday in England, where Denver (3-2) will meet the New York Jets (0-5) on Sunday.
'With a starting player ... it's never any good, but the next guy's up and we'll get ready to play him,'' Payton told reporters after practice on Wednesday. Powers has been placed in injured reserves with hopes of him returning in December.
Payton did not say who will start at left guard, but it could be Matt Peart, a backup last season who got reps at left guard in training camp.
The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Powers spent his first four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He joined the Broncos prior to the 2023 season on a four-year, $51.5 million contract and has started all 39 regular-season games since.
Powers, 28, played 99 percent of the offensive snaps in 2024 and 100 percent in the other seasons.
Peart, 28, is a career backup who has appeared in 65 games (nine starts) with the New York Giants (2020-23) and Broncos.
