Denver Broncos injury report shows Pat Bryant returning to practice

Wide receiver Pat Bryant has been designated to return from injured reserve for the Denver Broncos. After missing four games due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 4, Bryant was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and could return for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Other notable practice updates include wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who was a full participant despite a chest issue, and Courtland Sutton, who was limited due to rest. Defensive end Zach Allen also participated fully.

Concerns remain for the Broncos' defense, as four players did not participate in Wednesday's session: safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), safety Brandon Jones (hamstring), defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike (shoulder), and cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine (ankle). Hufanga has been sidelined since October 11.
