The Denver Broncos got a little help to start practice this week with wide receiver Pat Bryant designated to return from injured reserve. He can play this Sunday and is a full participant. There are several players held out today: Kris Abrams Draine, Talanoa Hufanga, Brandon Jones, and Eyioma Uwazurike are all non-participants.
The biggest concern there is that Denver could be down starting safeties in this game against the Carolina Panthers. Although the reserve players had a fantastic game against the Kansas City Chiefs last week, it’s always a concern when your best players aren’t there every week. Because of Hufanga’s situation, I’m guessing that they didn’t sit him out for this game and just plan for him to come back after the bye week.
