The Broncos have had a variety of injuries to monitor this week and Friday brought updates for several players.
On the positive side of the ledger was the return of cornerback Aqib Talib to practice after he missed the first two days of the week because of a hamstring injury that limited him against the Dolphins last week. Talib’s important to the Broncos secondary under any circumstances, but his presence could be even more valuable this weekend with Kayvon Webster ruled out because of a shoulder injury.
Also on the positive side, Linebacker Brandon Marshall returned to practice after suffering a concussion last weekend and is expected to start on Sunday after being listed as probable. The Broncos should benefit from having Marshall available to help face a Chiefs offense that likes to run the ball.
The negative side of things features tight end Julius Thomas, who was listed as limited despite media reports that he wasn’t doing much more than stretching. Thomas and Talib have both been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
