ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- After sitting out Wednesday's work because of an ankle injury, inside linebacker Corey Nelson returned to practice as the Broncos continued their preparations for Sunday's game in Cincinnati.
Nelson was held out of Wednesday's work as a precautionary measure.
Three Broncos injured in last Sunday's win over the Colts remained sidelined: tight end Virgil Green (calf), offensive lineman Donald Stephenson (calf) and outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware (forearm). Ware underwent surgery to have plates placed in the arm Tuesday and was expected back at the UCHealth Training Center on Thursday.
