ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- T.J. Ward was back at practice, but Darian Stewart remained sidelined as the Broncos began preparing for Monday night's crucial duel with the 11-3 Bengals.
Ward took part in the individual period of practice and cut on the ankle that he injured in the first quarter of the Nov. 29 game against the New England Patriots.
Stewart, who missed last Sunday's game with an injured hamstring, was at practice but watching drills from the sideline and not wearing a helmet.
The Broncos' safety corps remains depleted, even with Ward practicing.
