The Broncos could be without a key member of their offensive line Sunday against Green Bay. Right tackle Mike McGlinchey didn’t practice Friday because of a shoulder injury and is listed as questionable for a showdown with edge rushers Micah Parsons, Rashan Gary and the rest of the Packers’ disr uptive defensive front. McGlinchey was a full participant the first two days of the practice week, so the shoulder issue cropped up late in Denver’s preparations. Regardless of McGlinchey’s status, the Broncos will have their hands full with Parsons and company because of the way Green Bay moves Parsons around snap to snap. “There’s not really a tendency (with Parsons),” McGlinchey told The Post on Friday. “It’s kind of random and it’s just one of those things where all five guys have to be on it. When you call the help to him, whether he’s inside or outside, all of a sudden it’s like an accordion. It’s got to go down the line and people have to be aware of where he is. Be aware of what’s happening and what the call is. And then just go fight. “Opportunities to play guys like him are rare and it’s a cool one. It’s a really cool opportunity we have to play against elite players. We’ve done it a couple times this year and certainly he’s no exception. It’s going to be a full team effort to get it done, and I’m confident we’re going to get ready for it.” Whether McGlinchey ends up part of that plan, though, remains to be seen. Denver’s primary back-up right tackle is Alex Palczewski, but he’s been starting at left guard for several weeks in place of Ben Powers (bicep). Powers returned to practice this week for the first time since tearing his left bicep in early October and is moving toward being ready to play, but he’s been ruled out of Sunday’s game. Payton on Friday said Powers isn’t ready yet but “he’s getting there.” With Palczewski at left guard, second-year man Frank Crum has been the next option up at right tackle. Bryant out. The Broncos’ game Sunday against Green Bay is a big one, but it’s not a postseason game. If it were, Payton said Friday, rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant would likely be playing through a hamstring injury. Or, as Denver’s head coach described it, a hamstring-adjacent injury. “It’s hard to describe — it’s attached to the hamstring,” Payton said. “If this was a playoff game, he’d be able to go. And yet, in order to get him back to full strength, we feel like we’ve done the right thing this week.” It’s been an interesting stretch for Denver’s third-round receiver. He was listed as a limited participant in Thursday and Friday’s practice last week because of a hamstring injury, but was cleared to play against Las Vegas. He did, logging 35 snaps — second-most among Denver receivers — and catching four passes for 32 yards. Bryant, though, didn’t participate in any of Denver’s practices this week and will not play Sunday against the Packers. The Broncos, then, will be without a trusted blocker who has seen his role continue to increase as the season’s progressed. Bryant also has 22 catches for 305  yards and a touchdown. The Broncos could ride with their current set of receivers — Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr. and Lil’Jordan Humphrey — but they could also elevate any of a bevy of practice squad receivers, including veteran Elijah Moore. Lewis clears waivers. Veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis cleared waivers Friday. He is expected, a source told The Post, to sign back to Denver’s practice squad Saturday.

It was more of just managing the roster.” That roster management likely looks like this: Denver can promote inside linebacker Jordan Turner — a key special teams player who is out of practice squad elevations — to the 53-man roster Saturday and then sign Lewis to the vacated practice squad spot.
