The 5-5 Denver Broncos are set to face off against a particularly beat-up 36-year-old quarterback when they host the 6-4 Atlanta Falcons at Empower Field on Sunday. Per the Falcons, QB Kirk Cousins was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report — the team conducted a walkthrough — due to right (throwing) shoulder and elbow injuries.

The Atlanta Falcons lost a close game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, and they had several chances to win but failed in the clutch. After the game, Kirk Cousins was asked about the opportunities the offense had and was honest about what happened, according to Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney.

Cousins is roughly a year removed from an Achilles surgery and has started to move better in recent weeks. The team has won five of its last six games since starting 1-2 and Cousins’ legs are a big reason for that.
