WARE, U.K. — As expected, Broncos outside linebacker Jonah Elliss was ruled out Friday for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Elliss did not practice all week due to ribs and shoulder injuries. Broncos coach Sean Payton declined to comment on injuries to Elliss, who suffered a fractured scapula bone in his right shoulder in Denver’s 31-7 playoff loss at Buffalo last January and had surgery.

The Broncos listed as questionable defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, who returned to practice this week after being on injured reserve for the first five games with a calf injury.

For Roach to play, he would need to be activated off injured reserve Saturday. A source told The Denver Gazette that is “likely” to happen.

The likely move would then be Roach replacing guard Ben Powers on the 53-man roster. A source has said Powers will be put on injured reserve after suffering a torn biceps muscle in last Sunday’s 21-17 win at Philadelphia and having surgery Monday. He is out until at least December.

“He’s doing well,’’ Payton said of Roach, who was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and a full participant Thursday and Friday.

The Broncos practiced Friday at the Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club in Ware, where they are staying an hour north of London.

Roach, Denver’s top reserve defensive lineman, would add additional depth to the Broncos, who are No. 2 in the NFL in scoring defense and No. 5 in total defense.

With Elliss out, rookie outside linebacker Que Robinson is expected to make his NFL regular-season debut after being inactive the first five games.

“He’s doing well,’’ Payton said of the 6-foot-4, 243-pound Robinson, who could play a role on special teams. “He’s long, he’s disciplined.”
