On Wednesday, neither Bolles nor Vele practiced with the team. On Thursday, Bolles was a limited participant but Vele remained out.

Elliss was a limited participant in Wednesday’s team practice but was able to participate fully on Thursday.

In week one against the Seahawks, Denver allowed two sacks and six tackles for loss. If Bolles isn’t ready by Sunday, those numbers could get a lot uglier, especially with All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt on the other side.

Vele will be an interesting situation to monitor. If he can’t play and fellow WR Josh Reynolds is also out, Denver will be without their top two receivers from week one.

Regarding Elliss, he played just 21 snaps (31 percent), in week one. However, he has been an impact player throughout the preseason so his absence would be felt.
