In a surprise turn, Broncos rookie left tackle Garett Bolles was back at practice Thursday and participated in early offensive line drills with his left ankle heavily taped.
Bolles was injured on a run play in the third quarter of the Broncos’ win over the Cowboys last Sunday and was carted off the field in tears. He left the stadium on crutches and with a boot on his left foot and, after undergoing further testing Monday, was determined to have a lower-leg bruise.
Bolles was listed as week-to-week and did not attend practice Wednesday, leading many to believe he would miss at least the Broncos’ Week 3 game at Buffalo on Sunday.
