Broncos new to the injury report this week
There are four Broncos new to the injury report this week: Brandon Marshall, Aqib Talib, Quanterus Smith, and Kayvon Webster.
Marshall is making his way through the concussion protocol and the news so far is promising for a possible return on Sunday.
LB Brandon Marshall cleared from concussion for contact. He'll play vs Chiefs

Aqib Talib hurt his hamstring in the Dolphins game and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. He did return to practice on Friday. Talib is questionable to play on Sunday.
For the 1st time since leaving Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, Aqib Talib has his helmet and is on the field at the start of practice

Kayvon Webster also did not practice this week with a shoulder injury. As Webster has been ruled OUT for Sunday hopefully Talib will be able to play or else the Broncos will be thin at CB. Talib has a bit of a bad reputation for never being able to stay healthy for an entire season so I'm really hoping this is a minor strain and not a lingering issue with him.
Quanterus Smith was also limited this week with an ankle injury. He is questionable to play on Sunday.
Repeat Broncos to the injury report
Here's my favorite news to share with Broncos Country - Virgil Green is at last a full participant at practice this week. Now go get that touchdown when you're not too busy blocking those Chiefs Virgil!
Julius Thomas is also making a bit of progress with his ankle injury. He has gone from not practicing to being a limited participant this week. Unfortunately Thomas is still a 50/50 QUESTIONABLE to play on Sunday.
David Bruton was on the report last week for an ankle injury, this week he's on for a finger injury. Both weeks he was a full participant at practice. Montee Ball, Ronnie Hillman, Quinton Carter, and Juwan Thompson are also repeat Broncos on the report. Luckily for the Broncos CJ Anderson is tearing it up as Ball and Hillman both don't appear to be close to returning.

Broncos off the injury report
And now for the positive news. Britton Colquitt is off the injury report after making a brief appearance for an illness. Emmanuel Sanders (concussion), Ryan Clady (groin), Paul Cornick (shoulder), and Steven Johnson (ankle) are also off the report this week.
Odds and Ends
Here at Broncos HQ. Fox says Danny Trevathan coming along nicely. Won't be able to play until San Diego game.

#Broncos practice squad QB Zac Dysert sent home today with illness...

Chiefs safety Eric Berry does not appear on their injury report as he been placed on season-ending IR after a mass was discovered in his chest that doctors suspect is lymphoma. According to this report one of Berry's first thoughts after hearing the devastating news was if he would be able to play in the game on Sunday. I know I am not alone in wishing Berry and his family the best in the upcoming weeks and months.
The good news on the #Chiefs injury report is WR Donnie Avery (groin) put in a full practice today, as did CB Jamell Fleming (hamstring).
