Broncos running back Montee Ball has received full medical clearance, two weeks since he underwent an appendectomy.
“He’s all good to go,” said Broncos coach John Fox.
However, there is a difference between medical clearance and getting the green light to play tackle football. Ball only participated in individual drills Tuesday during the helmet-and-shorts practice with the Houston Texans. He did not participate in any team drills.
Ronnie Hillman continued to be the No. 1 tailback, followed by C.J. Anderson.
“We’re not going to build the Empire State Building in one day,” Fox said of Ball.
