Broncos vs. Raiders practice participation report: Thursday

With D.J. Jones in the concussion protocol, the Denver Broncos could have a big hole opening up on the interior of their defense in Week 4.

The Denver Broncos are working a lot of players through various injuries. Four limited players moved to full practice participants on Thursday and another two, Randy Gregory and Dalton Risner, went from DNP’s to limited as well. The biggest concern right now is the status of D.J. Jones.

Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett said that his timetable all depends on how he progresses through the concussion protocol. It sounds like he’ll have tests along the way, but so far he hasn’t been cleared to practice. That could put his game status in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders in serious doubt.

“Yeah, we have to go,” Hackett said. “Obviously, with those head things, we want to make sure safety is the most important thing, so we just want to make sure that he’s good throughout that process. As he evaluates through it, we’ll find out if he can play.”
