Broncos cornerback Chris Harris sits out;

A sprained ankle is keeping Chris Harris, the Broncos' third cornerback, out of practice as the team begins its preparations for Monday night's game against Atlanta.

Harris suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's victory against Pittsburgh. Harris was able to finish that game, but was wearing a protective boot on his foot earlier this week.

The Broncos would love to have Harris healthy as they prepare to play Atlanta, a team that scored 40 points last week against Kansas City and has one of the best receiver duos in Roddy White and Julio Jones. Jones caught two touchdown passes Sunday, and White used his Twitter account on Wednesday to sayhe thinks the Falcons will be able to challenge the Broncosdeep.

Broncos coach John Fox said Thomas was able to participate fully in Thursday’s practice, the first session in preparation for Monday’s game at Atlanta.

It shouldn’t be all that surprising to anyone who saw Thomas throw a stiff-arm on Pittsburgh safety Troy Polumalu.

Polumalu then tackled Thomas on the Broncos sideline by flipped the wide receiver onto his back while grasping Thomas’ arm.

Thomas played the full game for the Broncos.

They have an extra day to prepare before Monday night's game in Atlanta, but the Broncos will be short-handed in the secondary against the up-tempo Falcons offense if cornerback Chris Harris' ankle doesn't improve in the next two days.

Harris was not in uniform during the open portion of Friday's practice.

He has a sprained right ankle and has yet to practice this week. Since the Broncos kept just five cornerbacks at their roster cutdown to 53 players to open the season, Harris' injury could leave them with just four cornerbacks in Atlanta.

And just two of the four cornerbacks on the field Friday — Champ Bailey and Tracy Porter — have started more than one game in the NFL.

Tony Carter, who would take Harris' spot in the nickel (five defensive backs), has one career start for the Broncos in 2009 and has played in only seven NFL games.

The team's remaining cornerback, Omar Bolden, is a rookie. & last year was College season cut short with ACL tear I believe

I'm not counting on him. He was in a boot yesterday, I think.

Besides unloading Cassius Vaughn to us in a trade, who else did they release in cut downs? Would any of them be available to sign back on? If Fox and Elway aren't worried, I guess I'm not either. We'll see what they decide to do.

We let go Syd'Quan Thompson and Drayton Florence. I don't know what happened to them...

They sucked. They were always trailing even 2nd and 3rd string wideouts. I saw Florence with the Lions the other day trailing the Rams wideouts and was not a bit surprised. :)

Besides, they can always go get a nickel CB in the market, just not an outside one like Champ or Tracy.

Yes, they did!!! And Florence was relatively expensive!

Dropoff between 1st teamers and the rest was stunning. We cannot afford many injuries. But I guess that's true for every team to some extent.

Not good....'B'...not good at all.

Atlanta can roast you at home....

they'll have to blitz more if they dont have the cover people.

This might change Peyton's game plan, too...more ball control

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      FWIW:  sometimes when a player like Blackmon gets a one year deal it’s the players call as much if not more than the front office.   The player believes in themselves and are wanting a one year deal so they can go back into free agency sooner.  They view a multiyear deal as below market value.   Blackmon’s deal has a base plus incentives.  It’s not an insult.

      Spencer Rattler better than Michael Penix Jr and Nix. Wow! That has to be one of the most ridiculous takes I have ever heard. To be honest I have never heard of that Tice guy either. McCarthy will be the biggest bust in this draft and I feel confident in saying so. McCarthy = Mac Jones. Washington went as Penix went, he had to carry Washington all season with an above average O.Line and average running game. He had Rome and that was about it. McCarthy had the best O.Line in the country and arguably the best running game as well. He was a game manager and could win as long as he didn't turn it over. Michigan beat Washington because they ran for nearly 300 yards. Tommie Frazier would have won it all with that type of offense and he wasn't even drafted.   Regarding Kirk Cousins, at least you don't have him to pile on anymore. You will see how life without Kirk is, the Vikings will be lucky to win 7 games and I like the Vikings as a team. My father would be so disappointed in the Vikings FO right now and their fans at the way Kirk was treated. He was still alive in 2018 when the Vikings got Kirk and he loved the move. He was the biggest fan I ever knew. He loved them when they got Fran in the 70's and was a fan until he passed away in 2019. His favorite player was Peterson in this era. He said he would take him over any RB that ever played except maybe Barry Sanders.    Kirk Cousins career with the Vikings: 2018-2023 *50-37-1 Record. A playoff win at New Orleans Saints in 2019, beating Brees.   *4 seasons with over 4000 yards   *3 seasons with over 30 TD's   *7.8 Y/A   *68% Completion I know, they should draft Penix.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      Regarding Worthy -4.21 Speed has to be accounted for by a defense whether the ball is coming his way or not. So does that potentially create more opportunities for other Colt offensive playmakers.  I would say yes. I am sure the Colts have taken note of the impact of Tank Dell 5'10 165ibs (709 yds) on the Texans offense in his rookie year. If it helps take advantage of AR's physical tools and unlocks part of the Colts offensive playbook I am all for it. He is a quick twitch football player and not just a track guy. He is third all time in longhorn history with TD catches in 26 of 39 games, and has caught a pass in all 39 games.

      I wouldn’t be so quick to include Cross in your comments.   It’s fine for you to say YOU don’t have confidence in Cross, but I think the coaches and front office certainly do.   And I think the coaches and FO also have more confidence than you do in Juju and Jones and Flowers.     Just saying….
