Broncos cornerback Chris Harris is ready to return to action after sitting out the team’s Week 2 trip to Atlanta with an ankle injury.

“He had a good week of practice and we feel comfortable about his status for the game,” Head Coach John Fox said.

Harris is looking forward to getting back on the field after experiencing an unfortunate career first Monday night in Atlanta.

“That’s the first game I ever missed, ever, in my career playing sports,” Harris said. “It’s just hard to watch my teammates that we fight with and grind with every day go out there and play.”

But Harris agreed with the decision, noting that it’s a long season with 14 more games to play in the regular-season slate.

When asked whether he feels 100 percent healthy, Harris said simply: “I’m ready to play.”
