The Broncos don’t know who they’re playing yet, but they know they’re getting healthier.

In fact, when they practiced Thursday, defensive end Derek Wolfe was the only player on the roster not participating, according to Joan Niesen of the Denver Post.

Wolfe practiced last week after missing most of the previous month with an illness, but didn’t make the trip to Oakland for the regular season finale.

Center Steve Vallos was back on the practice field for the first time since suffering a concussion against the Texans.

They have the opportunity to ease through this week after a few extra days off, while they wait to see who they face in the Divisional Round.
