Is Courtland Sutton playing today? Why Broncos WR is off to quiet start vs. Jets image

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been quarterback Bo Nix's No. 1 target in the passing game since the signal-caller entered the league.

Through five games, Sutton has tallied 365 receiving yards and three touchdowns, leading all Broncos pass-catchers in both categories.

However, he's off to an unexpectedly quiet start in the Week 6 game against the New York Jets in London. Here's what we know about his slow start.

Is Courtland Sutton playing today?

UPDATE: Sutton still has just one catch for 17 yards after one drive in the second half.

There is no injury to report with Sutton, so it's just a quiet day for Denver's No. 1 wideout.

END OF UPDATE

UPDATE: Sutton finally has his first catch of the game.

It came on Denver's third drive and went for 17 yards.

END OF UPDATE

Yes, Sutton is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't received any targets yet, although he hasn't had a ton of opportunities thus far.

The Broncos' first drive ended prematurely after just three plays thanks to a lost fumble, and Nix didn't connect with Sutton on the second drive.

Hopefully drive No. 3 will be the one in which Sutton gets going.
