By ARNIE STAPLETON - AP Pro Football Writer

Broncos Pro Bowl linebacker Bradley Chubb needs another ankle surgery and will miss several weeks. Chubb had right ankle surgery in May to remove bone spurs and missed most of the offseason program. Now he needs surgery to remove bone spurs from his left ankle. Chubb missed the opener and didn’t even last two quarters at Jacksonville before the pain forced him to the sideline. It was the first game he’d played with pass rush partner Von Miller since Sept. 29, 2019. That was the day Chubb suffered a torn ACL. Miller missed last year with an ankle injury.

K-State back in poll at No. 25 as Oklahoma State trip looms

By DAVE SKRETTA - AP Sports Writer

Kansas State returned to the national poll at No. 25 this week, and the unbeaten Wildcats have a chance to prove they belong right away.

And the last couple have come without quarterback Skylar Thompson, who is out indefinitely with a knee injury. The question now: Can young QB Will Howard keep the unbeaten season going Saturday?
