The pain and discomfort in Broncos center Matt Paradis‘ hips were significant enough for the team to limit him to one practice a week for most of the season, but he never missed a snap of game action.

Broncos coach Gary Kubiak announced Monday that Paradis will have offseason surgery to repair his injuries.

“Matt’s been good. He’s played through it,” Kubiak said. “I know it’s important to Matt. He’s always ready to battle.”

Paradis, a Pro Bowl alternate, has been the Broncos’ most consistent offensive lineman this season. He hasn’t missed a game snap since he first made the active roster to start the 2015 season.

Kubiak didn’t rule out resting injured Broncos or placing them on injured reserve to open up a spot for outside talent to be added to the 53-man roster. He wants to push everybody to go and hinted that Paradis would not be rested.

Defensive end Derek Wolfe left Sunday’s game with a separate neck injury than the one that forced him to miss practice last week. He’s dealt with elbow, ankle, illnesses and two different neck injuries this season.

The Broncos other injuries include cornerback Kayvon Webster, who is in the concussion protocol. Safety T.J. Ward and tight ends Virgil Green and A.J. Derby missed Sunday’s game with concussions. Linebacker Brandon Marshall has missed the last three games with a grade two hamstring strain. Outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett limped out of the locker room after the game.

Draft season. As Denver looks toward 2017, it will have a top-20 selection for the first time since 2011 when it drafted outside linebacker Von Miller second overall.

The Broncos (8-7) are currently slotted with the 19th overall pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft.

They could fall to No. 20 with a win over Oakland in their regular-season finale and a Washington loss. With a loss to the Raiders, the Broncos could move as high as 16th. Their difficult strength of schedule (the first tiebreaker) puts them on the back-end in draft order with nearly every team they would be tied with record-wise at the end of the season.

Rising value. The absence of Ward and Marshall was apparent all night Sunday vs. Kansas City. The Broncos allowed a season-high 238 yards rushing and two touchdowns on a 6.4 yards-per-carry average.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had 11 catches for 160 yards and a touchdown. Stopping the run and tight end are primarily responsibilities for Ward and Marshall.

“I was asked last night about putting corners on him,” Kubiak said. “He beat us in zone. He beat us in man. He’s a really good player. … He gave us some problems and made some big plays.”
