Demaryius Thomas hobbles through practice, is expected to play on Sunday

The Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts released their first injury reports of the week, and with those came some good and bad news.

The bad news is that Demaryius Thomas is listed as limited, and according to reports from practice, he definitely wasn’t 100 percent. The good news is that the Colts injury report is much, much, much more crowded than Denver’s.

With Thomas, Adam Schefter had reported over the weekend that there was the possibility that Thomas might actually miss some time with the hip injury, while Gary Kubiak said earlier this week that he expected him back on the practice field on Wednesday — he was.

Though it wasn’t all good news with D.T., as he was clearly affected by his injury.

That said, Kubiak doesn’t seem to be worried. While he knows Thomas is in some pain, he fully expects him to be on the field Sunday.

Kubiak said Demaryius Thomas took a "good step" today. Also characterized his injury as a "nick". Doesn't seem worried about DT #Broncos

Getting on the field is one thing; let’s just hope he’s able to contribute.
