The Denver Broncos began their first game week practices of 2014 Wednesday, in preparation for Sunday night's season debut against the Indianapolis Colts. The recently announced four-game suspension of Wes Welker was the topic du jour, but the team still carried on in full pads and prepared for Indy.

The best news involved cornerback Chris Harris Jr. Harris has deemed himself "full go" on Denver radio this week and participated fully in practice.

Running back Ronnie Hillman and Kayvon Webster each returned to practice following their undisclosed medical scare in Dallas. Hillman was not listed on the injury report, while Webster was limited with the ankle he from which he has been recovering since midway through the preseason.

Guard Ben Garland did not participate for the second straight practice, dealing with an ankle injury.

Guard Louis Vasquez left during practice and did not return with a back issue. "I don't think it's anything serious," head coach John Fox said, but we'll be sure to keep an eye on the status of Denver's All Pro right guard.
