The Broncos are set to return a key member of their offensive line just in time for an end-of-season playoff push.
Left guard Ben Powers was back in pads and practicing Wednesday for the first time since early October, when he sustained a left biceps tear during the Broncos’ Week 5 win over Philadelphia.
Denver placed Powers on injured reserve Oct. 6, and is now opening his 21-day window to return from IR.
At the time of his injury, Powers was projected for a return in nine to 10 weeks, which would’ve put his activation sometime in December.
