Week 16 Thursday inactives: Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers

The Denver Broncos raced out to an early lead, but it was the Chargers who rallied for a Thursday night victory.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made NFL history by converting a 57-yard fair catch field goal in Thursday's game against the Denver Broncos.

After consulting with several experts over the past few days, the Lions running back avoided needing to undergo surgery on his MCL, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday. Montgomery will rehab the injury, and the hope is he can return at some point during the postseason.

Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore will be returning to the non-football illness list after suffering "recurring symptoms," the team announced Thursday. Barmore was first placed on the NFI list in July.

Geno Smith's knee injury forced him out of action Sunday night and appeared serious enough to cause legitimate concern entering Week 16. As time has passed, though, things have taken a turn toward optimism.
