INJURIES

Doesn't practice Wednesday Coach Vic Fangio said that Purcell (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, but he should play Sunday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Purcell logged 19 defensive snaps against the Jaguars in Week 2 and registered three tackles. The 30-year-old should garner a similar workload against the Jets on Sunday.

Returns to practice Purcell (ankle) is practicing Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact Purcell didn't practice Tuesday due to a lingering ankle injury, but he's already back in action. Considering the limitations that Purcell has had in training camp, it seems likely that the Broncos will rest him during Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams.

Ankle issue resurfaces Purcell didn't participate at Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Purcell dealt with a sprained ankle early in training camp, and it appears he's recently aggravated the injury. It seems unlikely the Broncos will risk playing him in Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, even if the injury isn't a serious concern.

Returns to practice Purcell (ankle) returned to practice Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Purcell suffered a sprained ankle July 29, but he was back in pads during Sunday's practice after he missed just over a week. Assuming he doesn't encounter any setbacks, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 30-year-old play in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings.

Impact Purcell, who was limited to six appearances in 2020, isn't yet back to full health but does appear to be progressing. He's undergone multiple surgeries to address the foot injury, the most recent procedure having been in February. All indications are still that Purcell is on track for training camp.
MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Follow-up surgery approaching Purcell is set to undergo a follow-up surgery in about a month to have a plate and several screws removed from his foot, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Less than a month after iinking a three-year, $11.5 million contract extension in October, Purcell suffered a Lisfranc injury Week 7 against the Chiefs that would keep him out for the remainder of 2020. Before getting hurt, Purcell collected 15 tackles and a sack over his first six appearances after posting career highs in tackles (48) and tackles for loss (eight) during his debut season with the Broncos in 2019. Following his upcoming procedure in March, the 29-year-old is expected to need 6-to-8 weeks of recovery time, so he won't be able to participate in OTAs. Purcell should be ready to go for training camp, however, and he's expected to reclaim a key role at defensive tackle heading into 2021.

Will be shut down for season Purcell suffered a Lisfarnc injury in his foot during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs and will miss the rest of the season, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Purcell has been a steady contributor for the Broncos this year, consistently handling a starting workload on a defense that ranks ninth in the league by allowing just 109 rushing yards per game. He's produced 15 tackles and a sack in the process. Purcell is the second starting Broncos defensive lineman to go down for the season, as Jurrell Casey (biceps) was shut down after Week 3. This could have major ramifications for the Broncos' defense, but rookie McTelvin Agim will step into a starting role and look to ease the pain of Purcell's absence.
