The Denver Broncos are near full health as they prepare for Sunday’s non-conference matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams are coming off of a loss last week and are looking to rebound. Denver’s receiver group saw a boost with the return of one of their players who has been on injured reserve.

Denver Broncos nearing full health vs. Atlanta Falcons

The Denver Broncos were back on the practice field on Wednesday for the first time since Sunday’s heartbreaking loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, and nearly every player was accounted for in the media’s viewing portion of practice.

The only player who was working on the side field was running back Tyler Badie, who has been working over there over the course of the last two weeks. He’s making tremendous strides and could return to the practice field fully in the next few weeks.

Wide receiver Josh Reynolds practiced for the first time on Wednesday since landing on injured reserve after having hand surgery. He was also the victim of a shooting recently, where he luckily only suffered minor injuries, and the team has provided him with all necessary resources to support him.

Defensive end Zach Allen (rest, elbow) and safety Brandon Jones (abdomen) were the only limited participants on the day.

Reynolds (hand), safety P.J. Locke (thumb), Drew Sanders (Achilles), and Delarrin Turner-Yell (knee) were all full participants on Wednesday.
