Broncos vs. Browns Week 12 practice participation report: Wednesday

The Denver Broncos have a few guys nursing some injuries. Running back Samaje Perine, the unsung hero of Denver’s comeback drive against the Minnesota Vikings last week, has a bit of a knee that is limiting him in practice this week. Same with defensive tackle D.J. Jones, while linebacker Josey Jewell has a back issue.

However, all eyes will be on safety P.J. Locke’s status as the team prepares to take on the Cleveland Browns this weekend. With Kareem Jackson’s 4-game suspension upheld, Denver will need some help at the position on Sunday. Head Coach Sean Payton was noncommittal on his return and they are in wait and see mode.

“We’ll see,” Payton said this week. “We’ll see where he’s at. He’s rehabbing. We discussed it this morning. We’ll probably have a better idea mid to later in the week.”

As for the Browns, they resting everybody this week. They have a pretty long list of injuries and are likely more focused on getting guys rest ahead of this critical road game for them.
