Broncos’ Mike Purcell “feeling great” after recovery from ankle injury early in training camp

During the Broncos’ walk-through practice Monday, Mike Purcell saw limited reps with the No. 1 defense as they faced the scout team.

But according to the nose tackle and coach Vic Fangio, Broncos fans shouldn’t be worried about Purcell’s availability come Week 1 on Sept. 12 at the Giants. Purcell, who suffered a season-ending foot injury in Week 7 last year, rolled his ankle early in training camp and has been slowly making his way back.

Purcell said he’s “feeling great” and has been pleased with the way his foot held up after the most recent injury considering he had two offseason surgeries to repair it.
