Patriots Week: Wednesday Injury Report

October 3rd, 2012 - 5:17pm by Stuart Zaas

All 53 players on the Broncos roster participated in Wednesday’s practice, including wide receiver Matthew Willis, who missed all of last week with a hamstring injury. Willis was listed as a full participant, along with cornerbacks Tracy Porter (shoulder) and Chris Harris (ankle).

Limited for the Broncos were Nate Irving, who continues to work back from a concussion suffered in the team’s Week 3 game vs. Houston, and guard Chris Kuper, who broke his forearm during training camp.

Head Coach John Fox said that Kuper, who returned to practice on a limited amount last week, has continued to make strides in his recovery.

“He’s easing back into playing,” Fox said. “He missed time in the offseason with his ankle surgery and then soon after coming back he broke his forearm so he’s missed a lot of time playing football but he looked good last week and he looks even better this week.”

As for Kuper’s prospects this week, Fox called it a “gameday decision.”

“He practiced all last week,” Fox said. “We decided to make him inactive for the game. We’ll see how he does this week in practice.”
