ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos may need to account for injured players on both their offensive and defensive lines leading up to what is expected to be a physical game against the Dallas Cowboys that will be decided up front.
Defensive end Jared Crick (back) did not practice Thursday a day after he had done so on a limited basis. And guard Ron Leary, who is in the concussion protocol, was also held out of Thursday's practice.
Leary did have a helmet on but did not participate in drills. He must be cleared by an independent physician at each benchmark of the protocol.
