ENGLEWOOD -- Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton remains optimistic he can play at Cincinnati in the season opener despite a dislocated right index finger.
Orton is wearing a glove on his throwing hand at practice this week but he`d rather do without it on game day. He said he`s never worn a glove, even in the winter while he was playing for the Chicago Bears.

Orton`s knuckle poked through the skin when he was hurt in the Broncos` third preseason game against Chicago on Aug. 30.

Backup quarterback Chris Simms would get the start if Orton can`t go. Simms recently returned to practice after spraining his left ankle in a preseason game.

Also Wednesday, the Broncos reached injury settlements with guard Matt McChesney and cornerback Joshua Bell. McChesney had an ankle injury and Bell ad a knee injury. Both were released.

McChesney a third-year player from the University of Colorado who signed as a free agent this year after spending time with the Dolphins, Jets and Rams.

Bell is a second-year pro from Baylor who played for the Broncos last season.
