Knowshon Moreno Appears Ready to Go Against Jets

Filed under: , , ,

Knowshon Moreno injuryENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With Knowshon Moreno practicing for the second time in as many days Friday, it appears likely the Broncos tailback could play for the first time in a month Sunday against the New York Jets.

Denver fullback Spencer Larsen also practiced Friday, completing his first week of workouts with the team since missing the last two games because of a hamstring injury.

If both Moreno and Larsen are able to return for the Jets game, it would mark the first time the Broncos' backfield has been at full strength since Moreno went down in practice Sept. 23 with a strained left hamstring.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas practiced on Friday for the first time since being knocked out of last Sunday's game at Baltimore with a concussion. The Broncos' top draft pick took a devastating high-low hit that separated him from the ball and left him crumpled on the ground for several moments.

Coach Josh McDaniels said Thomas had been cleared by team doctors to resume football activities after being free of any post-concussion symptoms in the last couple of days. Barring a setback, it's likely he'll be available to play Sunday, though McDaniels said he probably won't be used to return kicks because he missed the practice repetitions earlier in the week.

Moreno, who has missed the last three games, has gotten off to a slow start, running 39 times for 111 yards, an average of 2.8 yards per carry in two games this season. He has two touchdowns.
