A little rest did Ted Larsen and Roy Miller good, and on Thursday the Buccaneers had all of their players in action on the practice field.
Miller had missed Wednesday’s workout and Larsen had been limited, both due to illness, but they were full participants on Friday. No one sat out.
The Broncos’ injury report didn’t change a bit from Wednesday to Thursday, and it’s not much more concerning than the Bucs’ short list. DE Robert Ayers still did not practice but he isn’t injured; he has been excused due to a death in the family. Reserve guard Manny Ramirez (back) and third receiver Brandon Stokley (wrist/hip) were the only other players who were limited on Thursday.
Here are the full Thursday injury reports for both teams:
