Broncos OLB Von Miller ’50-50′ to play against Chargers

Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday with a knee injury, Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller was limited at practice on Friday and is listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report.

“He’s gotten better every day,” coach Vic Fangio said Friday. “He didn’t practice the first two days, but he was doing some stuff and today he made progress. It’s truly 50-50 whether he’ll be able to go or not.”

If Miller does not play against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Malik Reed and Jeremiah Attaochu would likely be the team’s two starting outside linebackers.

Denver inside linebackers Alexander Johnson (knee) and Josey Jewell (ankle) are also questionable for Sunday. Joseph Jones and Josh Watson are the team’s available backup inside linebackers.

Fangio also said that if right tackle Ja’Wuan James (knee) is healthy enough to dress, he will start the game. It’s uncertain if that means Elijah Wilkinson would start at left tackle if James is healthy. Wilkinson has been starting on the right side of the line as an injury fill-in for James.
