As aforementioned, the Denver Broncos have not played at full strength over the past few weeks, as nagging injuries continue to take their toll on the team late in the season. The Denver Broncos got some more good news on Thursday, as running backC.J.

The Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala reported that Head CoachGary Kubiakthinks that C.J. Anderson will play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is big for a Denver Broncos team that struggled on offense last week against Oakland, and should have a positive impact on the Denver Broncos run game.

Amidst the good news that Thursday’s practice brought for the Denver Broncos, there is some concerning news as well.Demaryius Thomasdid not practice on Thursday. Thomas suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, but was not listed on the Denver Broncos injury report on Thursday.

Demaryius Thomas received a rest day, Kubiak said.
