The Denver Broncos made some significant moves on the injury report during Tuesday’s practice, upgrading the participation levels of two key cornerbacks. Riley Moss and Ja’Quan McMillian were both increased to full participation, a positive sign for the team as they prepare for their upcoming matchup.
With star cornerback Pat Surtain II still in the concussion protocol, having Moss and McMillian available is crucial for the Broncos’ defense. Surtain’s status for the upcoming Thursday night game against the New Orleans Saints is uncertain, but his absence could be mitigated with the depth provided by Moss and McMillian.
In addition to the cornerback upgrades, Damarri Mathis and Justin Strnad continued their strong participation in practice, both being full participants for the second straight day. The team also welcomed back Mike McGlinchey and Baron Browning from injured reserve, as they were both listed as limited participants in Tuesday’s practice. Tackle Alex Palczewski also participated in a limited capacity as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.
The Broncos are hopeful that their upgraded participation levels on defense will help solidify their lineup for the upcoming game. Head coach Vic Fangio expressed his optimism about the team’s progress, stating, “We’re getting healthier and that’s always a positive sign. We’ll continue to monitor these players throughout the week and make decisions based on their progress.”
Overall, the Broncos are moving in the right direction with their injury updates as they look to secure a crucial win against the Saints. With key players returning to full participation and others making strides in their recovery, the team is in a good position to compete at a high level in their upcoming game.
