Royal misses practice again after concussion
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)—Broncos receiver Eddie Royal missed his second
straight practice Thursday, still recovering from a concussion.
Royal, who also missed practice time last week with a toe injury, collided
with a teammate during a punt return late in Denver’s victory over Minnesota
last Sunday.
Coach John Fox said the team was being cautious with Royal and following the
league-mandated medical protocols on concussions.
Running back Willis McGahee (knee) also missed his second straight practice
Thursday but said he’ll be ready to play Sunday against Chicago.
Left tackle Ryan Clady (knee) was back at practice Thursday after missing
Wednesday’s session.
Linebacker Von Miller, who missed last week with a thumb injury, practiced
for the second straight day and is expected to play Sunday with a cast over his
right thumb.
