The Broncos are close to getting left guard Ben Powers back on the field.
The veteran, however, will likely not jump right back into a full-time starting role.
Powers was a full participant in practice Friday after limited participation earlier in the week, putting him in line to be activated from injured reserve as soon as Saturday. He is officially listed as questionable.
Powers has missed the past two-plus months of action after tearing his left bicep in early October at Philadelphia.
He had surgery Oct. 6, has been around the team doing conditioning and rehab work on the side field for weeks and began practicing in an official capacity last week.
