The Broncos’ bye week began Monday around 3 p.m.
Broncos’ players were excused until early next week. The league’s collective bargaining agreement dictates players get Thursday through Sunday off during the bye week.
Head coach Vic Fangio said a bye week practice has “kind of gone away. I’m not saying I know what everybody does … You can’t really go out (Monday) and practice (after a game) nor on Tuesday in my opinion. You’re really forfeiting a potential practice on Wednesday and most coaches have come to the conclusion that it’s just good to get a full-blown break rather than one (extra) practice.
