Broncos 49ers Injury Report: Patrick Willis out, Juwan Thompson probable

The Denver Broncos won't have Danny Trevathan or Montee Ball but are remarkably healthy compared to the banged up San Francisco 49ers.

The Broncos are making final preparations for their primetime matchup with the 49ers Sunday night.

Broncos off the injury report this week

Andre Caldwell (knee) and Lerentee McCray (knee) are both off the injury report this week. Both of them were full participants when they were on the injury report last week so this is not a huge surprise.

Broncos new to the injury report this week

Omar Bolden (groin) and Corey Nelson (hamstring) are both new to the injury report this week. Both were full participants in practice which is a great sign. However I'm a bit nervous that Nelson has any kind of hamstring injury before two big games in 5 days. Hopefully it's just a very mild injury.

Repeat Broncos on the injury report

**Note: Danny Trevathan won't be appearing on the injury report because he is now on the IR list with a designation to return. He can practice in 6 weeks and return to the field in 8 weeks.

Montee Ball (groin), Juwan Thompson (knee), David Bruton (ankle), Chris Harris Jr. (knee), and Brandon McManus (right groin) are all repeats on the injury report. Thompson for the 2nd week in a row did not practice on Wednesday but he was a full participant on Thursday and Friday.

Overall the Broncos are in a lot better shape than many other NFL teams.

What about those 49ers?

Well their injury news is a lot worse than the Broncos.

Patrick Willis (LB), Mike Iupati (G) Jimmie Ward (DB) all missed practice this week. Willi and Iupati are both OUT; Ward is questionable.

One positive bit of news for the 49ers injury wise is that TE Vernon Davis was a full participant in practice and Greg Roman, the 49ers offensive coordinator, was happy with how Davis was performing this week.
