Three key Denver Broncos players—wide receiver Wes Welker, defensive end Derek Wolfe, and cornerback Kayvon Webster were back at practice on Wednesday. The three injured players were among five Broncos that were limited on Christmas Day (quarterback Peyton Manning and receiver Eric Decker were also limited).
Welker has been recovering from a concussion he suffered on December 8th, Webster is recovering from a thumb injury and Wolfe has been battling a mysterious illness. Meanwhile, tight end Joel Dreessen (knee) and offensive lineman Steve Vallos (concussion) were held out of practice.
All other players on Wednesday's injury report fully participated.
