Donald Stephenson, Virgil Green closing in on return to lineup
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- No matter who is actually in the huddle, the Denver Broncos say they want, and need, to run the ball better. But they are hopeful the return of right tackle Donald Stephenson and right end Virgil Green will provide a significant boost to get that done.
The Broncos don’t quite know if either player will make it back into the lineup Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, but both players have made enough progress for it to be a consideration.
Stephenson and Green each suffered calf injuries in the Broncos’ Week 2 win over the Indianapolis Colts and haven’t played since. On Wednesday, however, the two took part in their first practice since their injuries.
