Denver has added a linebacker to its 53-man roster ahead of Week 15.

The Broncos donned this combination in last year's home win over the Colts.

"It's pretty much going to be like playoff football, and that's what you get in December," Nix said.

The absence of a game status indicates Adkins (knee) will be available to play for the first time since suffering an injury in Week 8 against the Cowboys.

The Broncos control their own destiny in the playoff race, in regards to clinching a playoff berth, securing the AFC West and earning the top overall seed in the conference.

Tight end Nate Adkins (knee) and guard Ben Powers (biceps) remained limited participants.

"You've got one of the top AFC teams vs. one of the top NFC teams, so it's going to be a great challenge all around in every aspect, from offense, defense, special teams," safety Brandon Jones said. "We're super excited for the challenge."

Defensive tackle D.J. Jones (ankle) was a full participant on Wednesday after he missed Denver's Week 14 win over the Raiders.

Powers participated in practice on Wednesday and is eligible to be activated to the Broncos' 53-man roster at any point in the next 21 days.

After recording the go-ahead score in Sunday's win over the Raiders, wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has earned league-wide recognition.
