ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said Friday that he was benching Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall for the team's critical season finale Sunday against Kansas City.
McDaniels wouldn't directly address the reasons for his decision, though he mentioned accountability and said several other players will play Sunday with injuries worse than Marshall's. Marshall tweaked his right hamstring at practice Wednesday.
Marshall said he didn't want to get into a war of words, but he did note that McDaniels never played professionally to realize how difficult it is to compete while you're hurt.
"Coach never played in the NFL," Marshall told reporters after the decision, according to KDVR-TV, Denver's Fox affiliate. "I'm going to handle this professionally."
The two had a rocky start together, culminating in Marshall's suspension during training camp for insubordination, but they had patched up their differences during the season.
Marshall had sat out practice for the second straight day Thursday with a strained right hamstring that he suffered running a route. McDaniels said Thursday he wasn't sure how serious the injury was.
Marshall was recently named to his second straight Pro Bowl honor and has caught at least 100 passes for three straight seasons.
There are at least 10 different scenarios that can allow the Broncos (8-7) to get into the postseason. The simplest is if two of these three lose: Baltimore, Pittsburgh and the Jets.
The Ravens travel to Oakland, while Pittsburgh plays in Miami and the Jets host AFC North champion Cincinnati.

Wow.
Is McDaniels trying to prove to everyone "hey look, Im a baby Belichick! I can suspend who evvvvvvvvver the fack I please!"
McDaniels is an idiot.
Well, this is just annoying now..I was a McDaniels supporter, but this hurts..
You're on Broncomania aren't you?
Go CHIEFS!
marshall I am hurt I do not want to play hurt
coach
fine
I will bench you
marshall is a looser
he just lowered his trade value he hates denver
this makes it harder for them to move him
Marshall has been professional throughout this entire ordeal..
McDaniels is a right now..he's also benching Scheffler this weekend for "at ude reasons"..this isn't a Cutler situation where the guys are whiny es..Marshall has been a stand-up guy since he turned his act around earlier in the year..
It looks like McDaniels just wants an excuse to let go of some of Shanny's guys in the off-season..hopefully they patch it up or franchise Marshall and get some picks for him, even though I don't want to see him gone..
Ehh there's no way to know what's going on in the locker room.
Scheffler has no reason to have any at ude about anything. Stop dropping balls, asshole, and play better. You're just another TE - they're not that hard to replace.
