The Broncos go into tonight’s game against Kansas City as healthy as they have been this season.
For the first time in three games, there are no major question marks about any Denver starter as the Broncos (1-1) await the Chiefs (2-0) at Invesco Field at Mile High.
Star left cornerback Champ Bailey and starting tailback Mike Anderson, who were questionable for last week’s game against San Diego, participated fully in practice the past week and are listed as probable for tonight. Bailey, who dislocated his left shoulder in the season opener against Miami, is expected to wear a shoulder harness again tonight. Anderson is expected to be close to full speed despite a rib-cartilage injury.
Backup running back Tatum Bell made progress late in the practice week from a sprained left ankle. He was upgraded to probable on Friday. If Bell is unable to play, recently reacquired Quentin Griffin could be activated to play behind Anderson and Ron Dayne.
Footnotes
Former Broncos linebackers Terry Pierce and Jashon Sykes worked out in Miami over the weekend. They were released by Denver on Sept. 3. … Kansas City offensive lineman Willie Roaf, questionable because of a hamstring injury, is unlikely to play tonight.
