As the second day of practice begins for both the Broncos and Patriots, we take a look at the injury report for both teams and check on any changes.

We are just three days away Broncos Country from watching the Broncos take on the New England Patriots. Just let that sink in for a minute Broncos fans. I know I am finding it difficult to contain my excitement.

With the second day of practice completed, we are going to take a look at the injury report for both the Broncos and Patriots.

Looking at both of these reports, nothing much has changed from Wednesday. For the Broncos, John Elway did say, despite Chris Harris Jr. participating in practice fully, that he would be a game time decision for Sunday’s matchup.

The best part about the game time decision was when Harris Jr. was asked the question, the question threw him off and he said “that’s news to me.” But he did say that he was doing alright as far as his shoulder was concerned.

As far as New England is concerned, nothing much has changed on their injury report as well from Wednesday. Matt Slater, who missed practice on Wednesday with a shin injury, was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday.

Patrick Chung made an appearance on the Patriots injury report on Thursday. After not being listed on the injury report on Wednesday, he popped up with a foot injury. But he was able to practice fully.

From what I am taking from all this is that I think Bill Belichick is trying to rest his players the best that he can. I would not be surprised if those players that are limited end up being listed as probable on the final injury report.

Next: The Broncos are a completely different team

For the Broncos, it appears that everyone will be good to go for Sunday. It will be nice having the entire team suited and ready to go for a chance at a Super Bowl appearance on the line.

We will check back on Friday and see what the final injury report looks like. Go Broncos!
