Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie out briefly at Broncos practice with injury

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie suffered an injury scare about 20 minutes into practice Thursday but later returned to the field for scrimmaging.

Rodgers-Cromartie, who signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Denver as a free agent in the offseason and is the team's second-highest paid defensive player, was carted off the field with a high-ankle sprain early in training camp last month.

Rodgers-Cromartie was asked by Broncos coach John Fox about his ailment and pointed to his back.

Wes Welker practiced again today, team being cautious only because it's still preseason. If it were a real game week, WW would play.

Scary moment in #Broncos practice when Rodgers-Cromartie went down hard after an end zone collision. Good news: Only a "bump," Fox said.

Wolfe, Bailey, Ayers, Lilja, Bradley, J Johnson, Dreessen among those not practicing for Broncos

Joel Dreessen getting close to returning to practice for #broncos. Chance he could play a little in 4th preseason game.

At least on Fan they make it seem like DRC will struggle all year as a result of his injury.

So much good news coming out of camp. Awful offseason.

Get well, Broncos! Stay strong and stay positive! LET'S GO BRONCOS!!!!
