There’s plenty of good news on the injury front for the Denver Broncos as they enter the second week of NFL preseason.

Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (strain), receiver Marvin Mims (unknown), tight end Nate Adkins (unknown), center Alex Forsyth (unknown), outside linebacker Dasan McCullough (unknown), inside linebacker Jordan Turner (unknown), center Luke Wattenberg (unknown) and offensive lineman Alex Palczewski (unknown) all returned to practice on Monday. After starting practice, Mims moved to a side field, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Still sidelined for Denver are linebacker Drew Sanders (unknown), receiver Michael Bandy (unknown) and tight end Caleb Lohner (knee). Levelle Bailey, of course, is also sidelined after breaking his leg in Friday’s preseason opener. Backup offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo also remains on the PUP list.
