Thread: Clady, Five Others to Return This Week

http://maxdenver.com/blog1/

The biggest — and best — news for the Broncos as they returned to practice Tuesday is the imminent return of Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady.

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels announced that Clady will practice Wednesday, although he will not necessarily take all the first-team repetitions at left tackle right away.

“We’ll bring him along, just like any player coming off injury,” McDaniels said.

Five other Broncos will return to practice this week, McDaniels confirmed. Running back Correll Buckhalter, cornerback Champ Bailey, linebacker D.J. Williams and right guard Chris Kuper will practice Tuesday afternoon. Running back LenDale White will practice Wednesday.

But the biggest news revolved around Clady, who injured his patellar tendon while playing basketball in April and had not practiced since. Tyler Polumbus worked as the first-team left tackle during the first few days of training camp, but D’Anthony Batiste replaced him and has remained there ever since.

Clady has been a mainstay at the Broncos’ conditioning facility during training camp while his teammates practiced.

“He’s been running and doing those kind of things already,” McDaniels said. “We feel like it’s about the right time to start working him back in in terms of football.”

“He’s done a great job of everything that he could do and could control once the injury occurred. I commend him for that. He’s really set a good example. He’s kept to himself. He’s really pushed himself hard. We feel like he’s on the right timetable. We’re going to get him back there and start working him back in.”

Clady will be moved off the non-football injury list and back onto the active roster Wednesday. Outside linebacker/defensive end Darrell Reid remains on the physically-unable-to-perform list.

Great news.

I just hope they don't push him too hard.

Also, McDaniels said Demaryius Thomas will practice today.

Josh McDaniels: "Good news on the injury front:" Buckhalter, Champ, D.J., Demaryius, & Kuper practice today. Tomorrow LenDale and Clady.

Hmmm, they are all coming back at the end of preseason?

I think some of these guys are big fakers.

Very good news!

My initial though was alot of these injuries had a healing time frame of about the end of preseason. So, our team could look much differant with alot of these guys back. Kyle looked great but how much greater would he look with Kuper and Clady back to buy him more time to throw?

As much as I want to see these guys get in and play in preseason I just want them all 100% for regular season.

Arooooga, me like. GO BRONCOS!

praise tebow!!

Like I said in another thread. John Clayton saying Clady was struggling walking up stairs and stuff. He's an idiot. There's no way McD let's Clady come back unless he's close to 100%. he knows how valuable Clady is. Everyone does.

Great news, this makes me happy.

Just don't rush things. I want Clady 100% by week 1.

To be fair, Clayton and McDaniels are both idiots.

Slow roaster.

We can agree to disagree. I like and support our head coach. He's done nothing that I disagree with so far except maybe the trade up for Alphonso Smith and if Smith turns out to be a good player, I'll get over that too.
