The Denver Broncos have activated outside linebacker Bradley Chubb from the injury reserve list.

This is a big boost for the Broncos as they are scheduled to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12. The Broncos are coming into this one at 5-5 on the season and the Chargers are 6-4. Both teams still have a chance to win the AFC West and this is a big game to determine standings in the division.

The Broncos were playing some decent football up until last week where they had an unfortunate loss to the Philadelphia Eagles 30-13 at home. In Week 10, the Broncos had an impressive win against the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas, 30-16.

Denver has shown throughout the season that they have the potential to be a very good football team. There are weeks where their defense does not play up to standard and other weeks their offense does not play up to standard.

If the Broncos want a chance to make the playoffs out of the AFC West they're going to need to play perfect football during the back end of the season. The playoffs are going to be tough because the Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs are two of the better teams in football. There's no better week for the Broncos than this week to get a game up on the Chargers.

Having Bradley Chubb back will certainly help this defense. It will give them a better chance to walk away with a win.
