X-rays and an MRI on Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles’ ankle came back negative and the team’s top lineman was diagnosed with a bruise, head coach Sean Payton said Monday.
Bolles left Sunday’s season opener in the second half and did not return. He was replaced at left tackle by Matt Peart.
Denver fell 26-20 on the road in the season opener after the Seattle Seahawks rallied for 17 second-half points.
Continuity on the offensive line is key with the Broncos turning to rookie quarterback Bo Nix this season. Nix was 26-of-42 passing with 138 yards against the Seahawks and threw two interceptions.
The Broncos are set to play their home opener Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers visit Denver.
The 20th overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Broncos, Bolles played in and started his 100th career game Sunday.
