The Broncos are about 30 minutes into their first practice in preparation for the third preseason game, otherwise known as Cutler Bowl.
The team ended training camp late last week, before leaving for Seattle, and are treating practices now like they will in the regular season. That means all but the first half an hour or so are closed to the media.
But in that 30 minutes we were able to take roll. Brandon Marshall is there, as is receiver Brandon Llloyd, who returned after more than a week out. Safety Brian Dawkins is back in his normal blue jersey (replacing the orange non-contact jersey he wore last week).
The absent players are: QB Chris Simms (ankle), kicker Matt Prater (who also missed at least one practice last week but played against Seattle), RB Knowshon Moreno (knee), RB LaMont Jordan (played against Seattle, unknown if he’s hurt or just resting), CB Tony Carter (ankle) DL Marcus Thomas (shoulder) and OL Stanley Bryant. Bryant is the likely roster casualty from this morning’s trade to acquire OL Russ Hochstein from the Patriots. Bryant did not play well against the Seahawks.
