Denver and Atlanta released their first injury reports of the week today.
For the Broncos, cornerback Chris Harris (ankle) and guard Chris Kuper (forearm) did not practice. Guard Manny Ramirez (elbow) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (shoulder) were both listed as full.
Kuper continues to work back from his injury that was suffered during training camp. Harris’ injury was suffered during Denver’s season-opening win vs. Pittsburgh and Head Coach John Fox described the second-year cornerback as “day to day.”
“We’re concerned about all of them,” Fox said when asked about Harris’ injury. “He did not practice today. We’ll enlighten you tomorrow.”
For the Falcons, three players were listed as limited in practice today: linebacker Robert James (knee), linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (hamstring) and wide receiver Roddy White (groin).

Losing Harris is really bad. I was sort of counting on him to match up against Gonzalez. I was secretly thinking it was Harris’ turn to shine because I suspect that ATL was going to go after Harris big time after the big showing by Porter. Gonz is big and strong but Harris could outmaneuver him. They could both come out with some big plays on each other.
Here’s praying that Harris is full steam by Monday night. Suddenly I happy to have the extra day.
