Denver Broncos Week 12 Practice Report: Bye week pays off

After being with friends, family, and food Thursday, the Denver Broncos went back to work Friday for the most important stretch of the season.

Almost every player on the 53-man roster, with the exception of long snapper Casey Kreiter, was at practice this week as they prepare for a crucial game that will decide the sole owner of second place in the AFC West. Kreiter, who has handled the snapping duties for Denver all season, is nursing a calf injury suffered at practice Wednesday has officially been ruled out for the Sunday night contest. Denver was quick to replace Kreiter however, signing former Chiefs long snapper Thomas Gafford Friday morning to fill the void.

Aqib Talib and Derek Wolfe, who both missed the Week 10 contest nursing a back and elbow respectively, were limited at practice over the week but are expected to see the field Sunday.

As per usual this season, center Matt Paradis missed most of practice this week as he deals with a lingering hip injury, but he is expected start this weekend. Paradis has made a habit of sitting out at practice but has shown no signs that he could potentially miss game time.

The Denver Broncos are the healthiest they have been since Week 1 of the 2016 campaign, which comes at the perfect time as they welcome a divisional foe for a Sunday night showdown.
