Demaryius Thomas doesn’t expect hip to feel great this weekend

Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas got in a second straight limited practice on Thursday as he participated in about one-third of the reps while otherwise resting his injured hip.

Thomas injured the hip in last Thursday’s season-opening win over the Panthers and had an MRI that turned up nothing that rules him out of this weekend’s game against the Colts. Despite that, Thomas said Thursday that the hip is a concern when it comes to “stopping out of breaks, going down field, even taking hits.”

“It’s day by day. I ain’t gonna be feeling great. But it’s getting better every day,” Thomas said, via the Denver Post. “You pray about it, keep getting treatment, and hopefully by game day, you’re ready to go and nothing freaky happens.”

Bennie Fowler remains out of practice due to a fractured elbow, which would leave the Broncos with Cody Latimer, Jordan Norwood and Jordan Taylor as options in the event something freaky does happen this weekend.
