Despite losing Omar Bolden for the rest of the season, the Denver Broncos are as healthy as they have been all season with full participation across the board in Wednesday's practice.
The biggest news being that Chris Harris Jr. is making incredibly progress with his shoulder injury, while also regaining some confidence in playing through it.
As for the New England Patriots, I think it is safe to assume most of it is just trumped up nonsense. They were playing mind games with their injuries before last week's AFC Divisional playoff against the Kansas City Chiefs, so I would expect every single one of these guys to be full strength come Sunday.
May the best team win.
