Right tackle Mike McClinchey was ruled out Friday from the Broncos' season finale at Las Vegas, denying Denver the chance to have its entire offensive line intact from start to finish for the first time since 2011. “We've had our fair share of injuries but not a lot,” coach Sean Payton said Friday, when he also ruled out tight end Chris Manhertz (illness) from Sunday's game against the Raiders (7-9). Payton said 10th-year veteran swing tackle Cam Fleming will start for Denver (8-8) in place of McGlinchey, who has started all 16 games alongside Garett Bolles, Ben Powers, Lloyd Cushenberry III and Quinn Meinerz.
