Third-week byes are snow days after Christmas break — appreciated, but poorly timed. The Broncos, like most teams, prefer a breather in the middle of the season.
Nonetheless, it allows offensive lineman Louis Vasquez to receive extra rest for his back. Defensive back Quinton Carter was also held out from practice. Healing injuries is a theme.
And none of the Broncos tore a hamstring racing to the parking lots for upcoming flights, golf outings or football games (Wes Welker will watch his alma mater Texas Tech play Oklahoma State on Thursday).
As they broke practice for their four-day hiatus, Broncos coach John Fox tweaked his "stay out of the papers" message to his players based on last year's personal health scare.
