The Denver Broncos got a bit of a boost to start practice this week with wide receiver Pat Bryant being designated to return from injured reserve. He could play as early as this Sunday and was a full participant. There are several players who were held out today: Kris Abrams Draine, Talanoa Hufanga, Brandon Jones, and Eyioma Uwazurike were all non-participants.
The biggest concern there is that Denver could be down both starting safeties in this game against the Carolina Panthers. While the reserve
players had a fantastic game against the Kansas City Chiefs last week, it is always a concern when your best players are not out there each week. Given Hufanga’s situation, I would guess they keep him out this game and just plan to have him make his return after the bye week.
Here is your full Broncos-Panthers practice participation report for Wednesday.
