"Great news," Del Rio said.

Now that Fox is home, he will be in more frequent contact with his team back in Denver, from Del Rio and the coaching staff to his players. Fox called and left defensive captain Wesley Woodyard a voicemail while Woodyard was meeting with reporters Friday afternoon.

"We're just excited to hear that he's doing well," Woodyard said. "He'll be back soon, and we've just got to go out there and play for him. He wants to be here with us. [San Diego] is his hometown we're going back to, so this will be a big victory for us as well."

Woodyard said he and his fellow team captains have had to assume more of a practical leadership role in Fox's absence, especially since Del Rio's typical game-day duties on defense will be reduced as he pays more attention to the offense and special teams.

Cornerback Champ Bailey, the team's most tenured player and Woodyard's fellow defensive captain, will travel to San Diego despite being ruled out with a foot injury.

"Someone's got to help Jack out," Bailey said, laughing.

Great News! Let's Win For Coach Fox!

Fox was fined by the team for missing a meeting on Wednesday. He plans to appeal. Really? Appeal what, he misses the meeting and he should pay. Having heart surgery is never an excuse. What a bad coach missing meetings. What's next, not showing up to the game?
