Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, starting a 21-day window for him to return to the 53-man roster. If the Broncos do not activate Dulcich to the 53-man roster within the next three weeks, he will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season (one week plus any potential playoff games).
Meanwhile, after being an estimated non-participant on Tuesday, Denver Broncos safety P.J. Locke (neck) did not participate Wednesday. Broncos pass rusher Nik Bonitto (knee) also remains sidelined.
If Bonitto is not cleared in time for Saturday’s game, Drew Sanders would likely be in line for more rotational snaps at outside linebacker. Ronnie Perkins might be a candidate for rotational snaps as well.
At safety, Delarrin Turner-Yell is next up on the depth chart behind Locke.
Elsewhere on the injury front, outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper (ankle) was limited again and running back Samaje Perine (knee) was given a rest day.
