Broncos coach Mike Shanahan reiterated Friday that cornerback Champ Bailey, who has missed the past six games with a groin injury, won’t decide if he will play Sunday at the Carolina Panthers until after pregame drills.
“He’ll (decide) before the game,” Shanahan said after Bailey participated in a full practice. “We don’t practice (Saturday). He’ll go out there early, along with a couple other people, and see how they feel.”
Shanahan was referring to wide receiver Brandon Stokely (foot), linebacker D.J. Williams (knee), running back Selvin Young (groin) and fullback/linebacker Spencer Larsen (groin).
Bailey declined comment Friday.
“It’s not a pain issue (with Bailey), it’s just if it’s loose enough to be able to play, to be able to go full speed,” Shanahan said. “He’ll have a chance to test it pregame.”
