Denver Broncos host Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 matchup

The Denver Broncos are set to host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Empower Field at Mile High on September 20, 2026, following contrasting starts to their seasons. The Jaguars enter Week 2 with a 1-0 record after a dominant 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, led by four touchdown passes from Trevor Lawrence. The Broncos, currently 0-1, are looking to recover from a 31-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ahead of the matchup, Broncos head coach Sean Payton revealed he is managing an L4-L5 disc issue in his back, which has caused him physical discomfort and affected his posture on the sidelines. The team is also monitoring several injuries, including running back RJ Harvey, who is limited by a hamstring injury, and wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr., who is dealing with a foot issue.

Defensively, the Broncos are focused on correcting miscues, specifically addressing the high number of missed tackles observed in their previous game. The Jaguars aim to build on their nine-game regular-season winning streak and capitalize on Denver's recent struggles.
