Louis Vasquez held out of practice; injured Broncos will get full Super Bowl trip

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In addition to safety T.J. Ward and safety Darian Stewart, the Denver Broncos also held guard Louis Vasquez out of Friday’s practice.

Vasquez has battled a knee injury for much of the second half of the season, but did not miss a game this year. The Broncos did dial down Vasquez’s playing time some as the season wore on and the knee became an issue, as he finished with 79 percent of the offensive snaps in what was at times a three-player rotation at guard with Evan Mathis and rookie Max Garcia.
