After being sidelined for a month with a throat fracture, receiver Tyrie Cleveland returned to Broncos practice Wednesday.
Cleveland sustained the injury during practice Aug. 1 and if the next week-plus go well physically, coach Nathaniel Hackett expects Cleveland to be available Sept. 12 at Seattle.
“I’m feeling good now and I’m ready to roll,” Cleveland told The Denver Post.
Cleveland said he was blocking when a defender’s helmet speared him in the throat.
“It was a freak hit,” he said. “The first couple days were kind of hard because swallowing was hard. It was like a big lump in my throat, so I had a lot of soup and smoothies.
