ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos defensive end Jared Crick, who missed much of the preseason with back troubles, was held out of Friday’s practice and that could impact the Broncos’ depth for Monday night’s opener.
Crick had practiced on a limited basis Thursday. Crick and defensive end Derek Wolfe (ankle) each played in just one preseason game after they suffered their injuries on back-to-back practice days in mid-August.
Broncos coach Vance Joseph had said earlier in the week that he hoped both Crick and Wolfe would continue to make progress and be ready to play in Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
