ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – As the Denver Broncos wrapped up their week of practice Friday, save for a Saturday morning walk-through, coach Gary Kubiak said he believed Vernon Davis is ready to play, and contribute, in the Broncos' offense Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Broncos acquired Davis on Monday in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers and since the two-time Pro Bowl selection has been fast-tracked through the playbook to get him ready to play. The Broncos see Davis, who had 18 catches in the six games he played for the 49ers this season, as an immediate contributor in the offense.

“It’s a little nerve-wracking as a coach because you don’t want to put him in a situation where he’s not comfortable,’’ Kubiak said after Friday's practice. “So you’re trying to isolate on what he feels good about. And when you’re calling a game like that it gets tough to call -- put him in, take him out, that type of thing … [But] his eagerness to help us out is helping us. He’s so eager, he’s lived here this week, he hasn’t been home.’’

Kubiak said the Broncos won’t give Davis any additional plays, that what he’s worked on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be what he does during Sunday’s game.

Davis said he believes he has had a good week and that he’s “just ready to go out and help win some games.’’

“He’s going, he’s going to play, I feel very good about the things we’ve asked him to do this week,’’ Kubiak said. “Hopefully he’ll be a big part. We’re locked in what we’re doing and kind of went to him and said, ‘OK, tell us all the things you feel good about,’ and then as coaches you say, ‘OK, I want you to feel good about these things because I want you doing these things’.’’
