Injury Report:

For the Denver Broncos, the only real injury concerns up to this point are the status of T.J. Ward (ankle) and Darian Stewart (knee). However, Kubiak did note that both players would practice this week. Both Stewart and Ward have even said that they would play in the Super Bowl.

That is good news for the Broncos. Last week was just to get them ready for a week of practice in preparation for the Super Bowl. They are such a key part to the defense, especially when it comes to the passing game. Louis Vasquez is also dealing with a knee injury, but should be able to practice in full this week as well.

For the Carolina Panthers, the biggest injury to report is Thomas Davis. He had surgery on his broken forearm. He has stated that he will play in the game, but he will not be at 100% most likely with 12 screws in his arm.

Jonathan Stewart is also dealing with an ankle injury. But I doubt that he misses this game. This means that it is likely that both teams will be around full strength.

I expect quite a solid game from both of these teams and let the best one win.
