Colts quarterback Daniel Jones says he’s lucky to have such smart friends.

Denver Broncos tight end Nate Adkins ( knee) and defensive lineman D.J. Jones ( ankle) did not practice on Wednesday as the team began preparing for a Week 14 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Last week, the Jaguars were without several key players, including three starters: defensive end Travon Walker, defensive tackle Arik Armstead and right guard Patrick Mekari.
