Report: Pat Bryant Could Return to Broncos Practice This Week

NBC Sports, citing Chris Tomasson, reports a possible practice return after four missed games; Denver has not announced an activation in that update.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant could return to practice this week after an ankle injury, according to a Tuesday, November 3 report by NBC Sports that cited The Denver Gazette’s Chris Tomasson.

The report described indications of a possible practice return, rather than an announced team decision. Bryant has missed Denver’s last four games while on injured reserve, and neither practice participation nor an activation was confirmed in the update.

Before the injury, Bryant caught nine passes for 133 yards and one touchdown through the first four weeks of the season. NBC’s report also credited him with 91 routes run during that stretch, placing him third among Broncos receivers in that measure.

A return to practice would be a separate step from a return to Denver’s active roster. NBC said practicing would mark the opening of his 21-day return window; it did not report that the window had already opened. The possibility of practice this week does not establish that Bryant will play in the Broncos’ next game.
