ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Coming off a physical win over the Baltimore Ravens with a short turnaround for Thursday night’s game in Kansas City, Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said he wanted to get his players “as fresh as we can."

With that in mind the Broncos pushed their practices back to early evening Monday and will do the same Tuesday. Kubiak also held out a selection of players from Monday's practice, including running back C.J. Anderson (ankle/toe) and safety Omar Bolden (foot).

Earlier in the day Kubiak had said Anderson was “fine" after getting his ankle and foot “rolled up on," and Anderson could participate at least some in Tuesday’s practice. Safety Darian Stewart, who made the interception to clinch Sunday’s win, was also held out of practice because of a groin injury.

Quarterback Peyton Manning (back) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hand) were on the injury report but participated fully in the practice. Linebacker Brandon Marshall (foot), safety David Bruton Jr. (hip) and linebacker Lerentee McCray (groin) were also on the injury report, but all three players participated fully.

Marshall, who had offseason surgery and is playing the season with two screws in his foot, wore a walking boot on his surgically-repaired right foot around the Broncos’ complex Monday, but said it was to simply “settle it down" and that he would play against the Chiefs.

“That was a physical game (Sunday)," Kubiak said. “It's hard for guys to recover in this league. You don't practice for a couple days after you play and now we're playing very quickly. It's also something as a pro you've kind of got to get used to. As coaches, you know where they're at physically. Right now, it's about mentally getting them prepared to go into Kansas City and play."

The Broncos will practice Tuesday night, as well as Kubiak said he moved the practices to the evening to give players more opportunity to bounce back from Sunday’s game while also simulating Thursday night’s kickoff time as well.

“There's not much you can do other than mentally get prepared, really," Kubiak said. “Physically, you've just got to get them as fresh as you can. What I'm trying to do is let them sleep in a couple days, get rested, trying to get their clocks ticking at the time we're going to be playing and then we'll get our work done in the evening -- just trying to keep them as close to the routine that they're going to be following going into game day."
