Broncos injuries: Dalton Risner returned to practice Thursday

Denver Broncos left guard Dalton Risner (ankle) was back at practice on a limited basis Thursday after sitting out Wednesday’s practice.

Risner seems to be trending in the right direction, but if he is unavailable for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Quinn Meinerz and Graham Glasgow would likely start at the two guard spots for the Broncos in Week 4.

Elsewhere on the injury front, nose tackle D.J. Jones remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol. If Jones is not cleared before Sunday’s game, Mike Purcell will likely start in his place against the Raiders.
