Broncos vs. Lions injury report: Talib and Manning return to practice

Denver Broncos starting quarterback Peyton Manning returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice. Expect to see Manning continue to get Wednesday's off going forward. The Broncos decision makers are sticking to their guns when it comes to Manning getting his rest during the year.

Cornerback Aqib Talib sat out yesterday's practice with flu-like symptoms. Today he must be feeling better because he returned to practice for the Broncos. Talib and snared a pair of key/game changing interceptions for the Broncos in their first two games. So it's good to see that he is healthy.

Safety/Cornerback Omar Bolden and defensive end Kenny Anunike are continuing to work their way back from injuries this week. Both put in limited work once again today. It will be interesting to see if either of them have a full day's worth of practice on Friday.

Starting right guard Louis Vasquez was limited once again today, but Head Coach Gary Kubiak is not concerned about him. So expect to see Vasquez on the field Sunday night.

As for the Lions, look for starting quarterback Matthew Stafford to start on Sunday night. There was some question as to if he would be able to go or not. Stafford has put in back to back full participation practices, so that's encouraging news for him and the Lions.

Starting defensive end Ezekiel Ansah returned to practice on a limited basis today after sitting out yesterday's practice with a back injury.
