ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The injury-riddled Denver Broncos are finally starting to look like themselves, as several players returned to practice Tuesday.
Notably absent, however, was rookie quarterback Tim Tebow, who has practiced just once since bruising his ribs in his pro debut Aug. 15. He was at the team’s morning walkthrough but not its afternoon workout.
The Broncos suffered through an injury epidemic in training camp, where they lost Elvis Dumervil, the NFL’s best sackmaster, to a torn pectoral muscle that will keep him out at least until December.
On Tuesday, McDaniels released nine-year veteran linebacker Akin Ayodele and moved Mario Haggan back inside to the “mike” position, where he played before Dumervil got hurt just two weeks after signing a $61.5 million contract.
That means the outside linebackers will be former Gator Jarvis Moss and Robert Ayers, neither of whom registered a single sack last year, when Dumervil led the league with 17.
