There is a laundry list of notable injury updates heading into the Patriots-Broncos game this Sunday.

Former Broncos TE Shannon Sharpe, just days away from his induction into the team’s Ring of Fame, offered a few choice words directed toward disgruntled Denver WR Brandon Marshall.

Jets DT Kris Jenkins (back) is listed as questionable on the team’s injury report after practicing on a limited basis all week.

Free-agent LB Paris Lenon has agreed to undisclosed terms with the Patriots, his agent told Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe.
