The Denver Broncos will be missing four players for the Christmas night road game against the Kansas City Chiefs, including safety T.J. Ward, tight end A.J. Derby and tight end Virgil Green out due to concussions.

Linebacker Brandon Marshall (hamstring) also was ruled out for the Sunday night game at Arrowhead Stadium. He has not practiced since suffering a hamstring injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 4.

Ward, Derby and Green have been in the NFL concussion protocol this week after suffering head injuries in last Sunday's 16-3 loss to the New England Patriots.

Defensive end Derek Wolfe (neck/illness) was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report after missing a third consecutive day of practice.

Wolfe left last Sunday's game in the second quarter and missed the last two days of practice with an illness.

The Broncos (8-6) likely need to win both of their remaining games to stay alive for a wild-card spot.
