For the Broncos, not much changed on their end outside of safety Trey Marshall putting in a full session today after being limited on Wednesday with a wrist injury. Veteran safety Kareem Jackson returned to practice today as well after getting a veteran day off on Wednesday.
This also meant that star receiver Courtland Sutton remained limited today with an AC-Joint injury to his shoulder. Head Coach Vic Fangio was asked about Sutton’s progress and he told reporters that “he did fine” and called the receiver questionable for Sunday’s game.
“He did fine. He still has to recover from it some more. He’s questionable for this game. We’ll see what kind of progress he makes in the next couple days.”
Left tackle Garett Bolles remained limited with an elbow injury and was seen with an elbow brace on as well. Rookie wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland remained limited as well with a hip injury.
In other good news, outside linebacker Bradley Chubb has put in two straight full practices after spending the offseason recovering from an ACL injury. After seeing him suffer some pain during the training camp practices it’s promising to see him go full after his first game action.
As for the Steelers, running back James Connor put in a full practice after suffering an ankle injury on Monday night vs. the Giants.
