Denver Broncos rookie wideout Jerry Jeudy is active for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite bruising his ribs in Week 2.

Jeudy was listed as questionable with the injury, but he'll be heavily relied upon on Sunday - top receiver Courtland Sutton is out for the season with a torn ACL. Without Jeudy, fellow rookie KJ Hamler would top a shallow receiver depth chart followed by Tim Patrick, DaeSean Hamilton, and Tyrie Cleveland.

Through his first two games, Jeudy has eight receptions for 118 yards. Tight end Noah Fant leads the team with nine catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns.
