ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Despite practicing on a limited basis this week, the Broncos unsurprisingly elected to exercise caution with OLB DeMarcus Ware and ruled him out for Sunday's game in San Diego.
Head Coach Gary Kubiak said that Ware made progress throughout this week of practice. All signs point to him returning from his back injury on Dec. 13 when the Broncos face the Oakland Raiders.
"He was really close," Kubiak said. "He practiced [well] yesterday, even better today [Friday]. I think he's very confident, but I think we kind of made up our mind that we were going to stay the course.
