Lloyd, Williams, Moreno and Dumervil Attend Broncos Wednesday Practice

PrintWe can rest a little bit easier, tonight. In preparation for the Week 3 game in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans, WR Brandon Lloyd, LB D.J. Williams, RB Knowshon Moreno, and DE Elvis Dumervil participated in Wednesday's practice. This infers that they should be able to compete this Sunday.
Brandon Lloyd is a huge name to return to practice. A week after the Broncos rotated in Tim Tebow as a wide receiver against the Bengals, it became obvious that wide receiver was an area of concern. After Eddie Royal went out with a groin injury, the Broncos were left with only Eric Decker and Matthew Willis. Brandon Lloyd's return from a groin injury, along with the arrival of Quan Cosby, means that the Broncos will be much better off, in terms of receiver depth.
D.J. Williams has returned from an elbow injury that he suffered early in the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. Knowshon Moreno and Elvis Dumervil were both injured during the week 1 contest against the Oakland Raiders. Knowshon suffered a hamstring injury while Elvis Dumervil injured his shoulder.
The return of these four starters is welcome news for the Denver Broncos. It would be nice if future Hall of Famer Champ Bailey would return from injury, as well, to match up against one of the most physical receivers in the NFL, Kenny Britt.

Awesome news indeed!!!!
Here’s to all of these players + the uninjured one’s, making through this week of practice unscathed. I can’t wait to see Dumervil back in action, unhampered by an injury this time.

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

Glad all these guys are back. But if Champ can’t play on Sunday, we’re in trouble.

Nah!!!
We’ll be okay without him…….. we’ll stack the box, and then unload on Hasselbeck when drops back to throw.

Cassius Vaughn is a Titans killer!
I bet he makes another play to help us win the game as he did a year ago.

Somewhat bitter sweet @ RB and LB
Obviously the jury is still out on Knoshon and Willis/ Ball played well last week.
Woodyard was playing great and flying around (13 tackles and pass defended).
Maybe we can figure out how to keep those components on the field.
There is no reason
Woodyard cannot play, he’s earned his reps.

he plays the nickel with djw
so woodyard will lose some reps and so will mays
Knowshon gives you more receiving out of the backfield and in space than either of the other RBs, and Willis seemed to wear down last week (running game did very little in the 2nd half). So I’d like to see 18 carries for Willis, 12 + 5 catches for Knowshon, scraps for Ball.
i keep dancing on my own.
I'm feeling better about this game..........
if we went with what we had last week, there would be trouble. Please get well soon, Champ!

When they cut Johnson
I was pretty sure KnowMo would be OK for this week. Lloyd practiced last Friday, so I wasn’t surprised he’s back. I thought DJ would need another week or 2, but glad to have him back.
Wish we had Champ, but that just means Miller and Von have to rev up the pressure even more this week. Go get’em boys!

Interesting note
Woodyard was nominated for( but did not receive) AFC defensive player of the week honors with 13 tackles and a pass defended. Further he leads the AFC West in tackles up to this point in the season. DJ is a special athlete as well so it seems the defensive coached have a good problem on their hands with trying to find ways to get them both on the field.
No Champ will hurt our chances! DJ is still wearing a brace on his arm and that isn't promising either...
I hope they don’t bring Doom back to soon and reagravate the injury…Great news though that Kyle will have his target back. The Titans will have their hands full with our offense this week…
unless it rains...smh

Is a nice name who was a pleasant surprise for me… but Champ is irreplaceable imo

Those groin injuries can linger...
I sure hope Lloyd is able to play out the year. Good to have these guys back. Maybe.
The Broncos should start Tim Tebow immediately. That way, the defensive line will play better.
I was very glad
that even though Lloyd participated last Friday, as soon as he had troubles on game day he felt comfortable going to the coaches and they felt comfortable doing the right thing. After that sequence of events, I doubt he plays Sunday unless he is ready. But, hammies are weird, too.
Marcus Thomas
Any word on how Thomas is doing and if he has a chance to play this week?

I'm sure this has been covered at some point...
but where is Eron Riley? He seemed to be pretty solid in preseason, and I’m pretty sure he was signed to the practice squad. Do they not think he’s ready?

I asked myself the same question....
Why they just didn’t activate Riley!?
I bleed Orange & Blue.
by Fabio Broncos on Sep 21, 2011 4:01 PM MDT up reply actions
I would have to assume...
that the FO sees great potential in Riley and they don’t want to expose that potential to the rest of the NFL. If we do activate Riley and all our receivers come back healthy, who do you cut? D. Thomas, E. Royal, M. Willis, E. Decker? B. Lloyd? Who ever does get cut, will get picked up by another team. We have a pretty talented group and I think it’s smart to keep Riley hidden because you never know who’s going to be gone next year.
Von Miller and Dumervil are basically racing to see who's first to the QB...Love this feeling!!!
I think so too
Eron was on the PS last year, so there is a little investment there (time, not so much money). I think he is the “Next man up” for the WR’s, but our Receivers are pretty darn good too.
