When Broncos inside linebacker Jonas Griffith sustained a dislocated left elbow on the second play of the Aug. 13 preseason game against Dallas, his estimated return-to-play was 4-6 weeks.
But when the Broncos face Seattle on Sept. 12, Griffith’s fast healing could help him start alongside Josey Jewell.
“I was kind of disappointed because I wanted to practice this week,” Griffith said Thursday. “But I’m just taking it day-by-day and it will be cool to get out there next week.”
Griffith did side-field work during the portion of practice open to the media. When he returns to team work, he will wear the same kind of large brace that runs the length of his arm that left tackle Garett Bolles has worn for years.
