News

  • Records first sack

    Jewell tallied three tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Denver's 29-12 win versus the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jewell recorded his first sack of the season versus Cleveland and now has seven in his career. The 28-year-old will look to build off his strong performance when the Broncos take on Houston later this week.

  • Gets double-digit tackles

    Jewell logged 10 tackles (five solo) in the Broncos' 19-17 win over the Packers in Week 7.

    Analysis: Jewell reached the double-digit tackle count for the first time this season, as he had previously reached nine twice. He was on the field for 52 snaps (85 percent) as a defender to go along with four (16 percent) on special teams. Next up, the team hosts the Chiefs at Mile High Stadium.

  • Posts nine stops Thursday

    Jewell finished with nine tackles (seven solo) in a loss to the Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.

    Analysis: Jewell was part of a Denver defense that did a pretty good preventing Kansas City from getting into the end zone, though the Broncos' offense failed to take advantage. Jewell's tackle total tied a season-high mark, as he also notched nine stops Week 2 versus Washington. The Iowa product has tallied 33 tackles through five games on the campaign.

  • Looks ready for Week 5

    Jewell (hip) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: After sitting out of Sunday's 31-28 win at Chicago, it looks like Jewell is now back to full strength for Week 5. He'll resume his role as Denver's top off-ball linebacker versus Breece Hall and the Jets.

  • Limited participant in practice

    Jewell (hip) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jewell returned to practice after missing last week's win against the Bears with a hip injury. If the 2018 fourth-round pick is able to play versus the Jets on Sunday, he should return to his starting spot at inside linebacker alongside Alex Singleton.

  • Out Week 4

    Jewell (hip) will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup with the Bears.

    Analysis: Jewell was a nonparticipant at practice all week, so this is not a surprising move. He is still recovering from a groin injury sustained in last week's loss to the Dolphins. In his absence, Drew Sanders and Justin Strnad are candidates to fill in at inside linebacker.

  • Out for game

    Jewell has been downgraded to out after suffering a groin injury Sunday against the Dolphins, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The starting linebacker made four tackles in the first half and 15 in the first two games of the season. Jewell's injury opens the door for backups Drew Sanders and Justin Strnad.

  • Exits with injury

    Jewell is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a groin injury, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jewell totaled four tackles before sustaining this groin issue during the first half. The veteran logged 15 tackles over the first two weeks of the season, and his absence will leave Denver's defense without one of its two starting inside linebackers for the time being. Should Jewell remain sidelined, then Drew Sanders and/or Justin Strnad will have to step up into bigger roles alongside Alex Singleton.

  • Nine tackles in loss

    Jewell recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Jewell's nine tackles were the second-most of any Broncos defender Sunday, trailing only Justin Simmons in the contest. With his strong Week 2 effort, the 28-year-old linebacker has amassed a team-high 15 total tackles to start the season. Jewell is coming off an excellent 2022 campaign, in which he recorded career highs in tackles (128) sacks (2.5) and interceptions (2). It appears the veteran should remain a key member of Denver's defensive unit in 2023. Jewell will look to build upon his…read more

  • Six tackles in loss

    Jewell registered six tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jewell's lone solo tackle came on an eight-yard scramble by Jimmy Garoppolo at the end of the fourth quarter that gave Las Vegas a first down and sealed the game. The Broncos were able to limit the Raiders to just 61 rushing yards and kept running back Josh Jacobs (19 carries for 48 yards) in check. Jewell emerged as a bright spot for Denver last season when he set career highs in tackles (128), sacks (2.5) and interceptions (two) in 13 games.

  • Records three tackles in loss

    Jewell recorded three tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 21-20 preseason loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Jewell was on the field for 34 percent of the Broncos' defensive snaps Saturday. The veteran linebacker suffered an eye injury in Denver's first preseason contest against the Cardinals, but the issue wasn't enough to keep the 28-year-old off the field against the 49ers. With the 2023 campaign quickly approaching, Jewell will reprise his starting role and look to build off a career year last season.

  • Poked in eye

    Jewell got poked in the eye during Friday's opening preseason game in Arizona, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Jewell had accumulated three tackles (two solo) before sustaining the eye injury. The severity of the issue is not known at this time, but it would not be surprising for the Broncos to exercise caution with their starting inside linebacker.

  • Completes career year

    Jewell recorded 128 tackles (70 solo) to go with 2.5 sacks, two interceptions, four passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries while playing 13 games in the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Jewell set career highs in tackles, sacks and interceptions in the 2022 campaign as he proved to be an integral part of a strong Denver defense this season. The veteran linebacker played an every-down role this season and made the most of his opportunities. Jewell finished second in tackles behind fellow linebacker Alex Singleton, and he could've had an even bigger year had he not missed four games due to calf and knee injuries. The 28-year-old is heading into the final year of the two-year…read more

  • Registers 10 stops in loss

    Jewell recorded 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Jewell has amassed exactly 10 stops in each of Denver's last three matchups, now bringing his total up to a career-best 116 tackles across 11 games played this season. The 28-year-old has operated in an every-down linebacker role thus far in 2022, and he'll likely continue to do so in Week 17 against Kansas City.

  • Tallies 10 tackles

    Jewell recorded 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

In 10 games played, the veteran linebacker has the second-most tackles (106) of any Broncos' defender with 106 tackles. Jewell has recorded double-digit tackles in five of the last six games. The 27-year-old will look to continue his impressive 2022 campaign when the Broncos visit the Rams in Week 16.

The linebacker's two interceptions were his first picks of the season, and in nine games played, he is tied for the second-most interceptions and second-most tackles (96) among all Broncos defenders.

  • Records eight tackles

    Jewell tallied eight tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Jewell's eight total tackles were the second most of any Broncos defender in the contest. In seven games played, the veteran linebacker has recorded 68 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, one pass defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Jewell's 68 tackles are the second-highest total of the season behind fellow linebacker Alex Singleton, who has amassed an impressive 90 tackles on the year.

  • Posts double-digit tackles again

    Analysis: Jewell tied Alex Singleton for the team lead with 11 stops in the contest, marking the third time in six games this season that he's finished with 10 or more tackles. Separate injuries to his calf and knee have caused Jewell to sit out four games thus far, but he's been impressive when he's been on the field, totaling 2.5 sacks and averaging 10 tackles per contest.

  • Notches nine more tackles

    Analysis: Jewell has recorded nine tackles in each of his last two contests, and he finally appears to be at full strength after missing four of his squad's first seven matchups. It's also worth noting that he's played in every defensive snap over the last two games (125 snaps).

The fifth-year linebacker also finished with a team high in combined tackles Sunday, and he has now totaled 39 stops, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and fumble recovery over just four games played this season. Jewell should stand to record over 100 tackles for the second time in his career if he can stay healthy over the Broncos' final nine contests.

    Analysis: Jewell picked up a sprained knee Week 5 against the Colts, missing Denver's subsequent two contests as a result, He did manage a pair of limited practices this week, though, so he may be closing in on a return to action. Expect Jonas Griffith to start in Jewell's place again Week 7.

    Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Jewell is "week-to-week" after sustaining a sprained knee during Denver's 12-9 loss versus Indianapolis on Thursday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Jewell missed the entire second half of Thursday's humbling overtime loss versus the Colts with the injury, and it now appears he could miss extended time. Any time he does miss will be time during which the Broncos' defense as a whole is worse, but Alex Singleton and Jonas Griffith should be decent fill-ins.

    Jewell recorded nine tackles (five solo), one sack and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 11-10 win over the 49ers.

The 27-year-old linebacker's one fumble recovery and one sack were also tied for the team lead in those categories. If Sunday is any indication, Jewell will likely be an impact player for the Broncos' defense this season, making him an intriguing IDP option.

    Jewell (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Jewell returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since being ruled inactive ahead of the season opener. However, he remained limited throughout the week, so it's unclear if he'll be able to make his season debut in Week 3.

    Analysis: Jewell's will have to wait at least one more before making his 2022 debut after he similarly missed Denver's Week 1 contest due to a lingering calf injury.

    Analysis: Jewell suffered the calf injury Thursday before the season opener and was ruled out after being deemed doubtful.

  • Doesn't participate Wednesday

    Jewell (calf) did not participate during the Broncos' practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jewell is still working his way back from a calf injury that sidelined him during Denver's season-opening victory over the Seahawks Monday. If the inside linebacker is still not ready to suit up in time for the team's next game against Houston, then Jonas Griffith -- three tackles over 29 defensive snaps played against Seattle -- should see increased reps once again this coming Sunday.

    The Broncos have listed Jewell (calf) as doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Seahawks, Ben Swanson of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Jewell was not able to practice Friday or Saturday to close out the week and will need a quick turnaround for any chance at suiting up.

    Jewell agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract with the Broncos on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jewell totaled 113 tackles, four pass deflections and two sacks during the 2020 campaign, but he played just two games in 2021 before being sidelined for the rest of the season due to a torn pectoral. Troy Renck of Denver 7 News relays that the 27-year-old was working out and healthy by the end of last season, so he should be good to go for training camp this summer.

    Jewell will undergo an MRI to determine the specifics of the pectoral injury that he sustained Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jewell exited Sunday's Week 2 win over the Jaguars in the first half and was unable to return. While his injury is believed to be potentially significant, a better idea of his status should be revealed based on the results of his MRI. Justin Strnad and Jonas Griffith should see increased roles if Jewell misses additional time.

  • Back at practice

    Jewell (groin) returned to practice Monday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Jewell reportedly has a chance to suit up for Saturday's exhibition match against the Seahawks, though the Broncos will first monitor how well he holds up during practice. The 26-year-old had a career-high 113 tackles (67 solo) through 16 contests last season.

  • Avoids serious injury

    Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Jewell (groin) is expected to be sidelined about 10 days, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

  • Battling groin tightness

    Jewell sat out Saturday's practice with groin tightness, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jewell was held out for precautionary reasons, so it doesn't appear to be a serious injury. He took a big step forward for the Broncos in 2020 and recorded 113 tackles (67 solo) and four sacks while starting all 16 games.

  • Sets career high in tackles, sacks

    Jewell wrapped up the 2020 season with 112 tackles, six tackles for loss, two sacks and four passes defensed.

    Analysis: Starting Jewell for the entire season probably wasn't Plan A for Denver's brass heading into the regular season but it worked out well. Following the teams' decision to cut Todd Davis, Mark Barron was signed to be the coverage linebacker complementing Alexander Johnson -- particularly after Jewell struggled in coverage during training camp. Injuries kept Barron off the field, and Jewell's play kept him on it as he set career highs in tackles, sacks and passes defensed all the while…read more

  • Stacks up 10 stops

    Jewell made 10 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Jewell enjoyed his third double-digit tackling performance of the year, and now he's second on the team with 58 tackles (40 solo) through eight games. That ties the career high he set back in 2018. Jewell's a solid IDP asset based on those numbers, although he offers little in terms of pass rush or coverage.

  • Turns heads against Jets

    Jewell picked up 10 tackles, two sacks and a pass defensed during Thursday's 37-28 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Facing a third-and-six at midfield while down by eight late in the third quarter, Sam Darnold dropped back to try to spark the comeback, but he was swallowed up by Jewell for a nine-yard loss. Jewell's 10 tackles were his most since Week 1 of last season, and his two sacks represented a career high. Perhaps most impressive has been Jewell's play in coverage. Known mostly as an athletically-limited run-stuffer, Jewell had a pass defensed and made some solid plays in coverage. Jewell is playing…read more

  • Has chance to start

    Following the release of starting inside linebacker Todd Davis, Jewell will have an opportunity to be the next man up, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Jewell got the start in three games in 2019 after logging nine as a rookie in 2018 and totaling 96 tackles, two fumble recoveries and 1.5 sacks. He figures to be the Broncos' best option opposite Alexander Johnson to start the season, but the inside backer position is fluid in Denver. The team recently signed Mark Barron and traded for Austin Calitro. Neither has the familiarity with Vic Fangio's defense that Jewell has, but both are superior athletes, which is notable given the struggles…read more

  • Receives questionable tag

    Jewell (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Jewell sustained the injury during last Sunday's loss to the Bills and was wearing a walking boot after the game, but he was able to practice as a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday.

  • Sporting leg accessory

    Jewell (ankle) was spotted wearing a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's loss to the Bills, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Per Klis, Jewell's X-rays came back negative, and he's now scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday. Jewell got his ankle rolled up on during a kick return in the first half and didn't return. Expect a report from the team following Jewell's MRI. If he can't suit up in Week 13, his absence will likely only affect the depth on special teams and defense.

  • Officially done for day

    Jewell (ankle) is ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Jewell left the contest in the first half and was ruled questionable, but further evaluation deemed the second-year linebacker done for the day. With 31 tackles in tow this season, Jewell's absence will affect both the depth of the Broncos' defense and their special teams.

  • Exits with injury

    Jewell (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Jewell suffered the injury, but he was forced to leave the game in the second quarter. As long as he's sidelined, look for Joseph Jones to see an increase in reps as a depth inside linebacker.
