What happened: Denver's Thursday injury report moved J.K. Dobbins and Jaylen Waddle into full participation despite hip and foot issues. D.J. Jones was limited for veteran rest, and Dondrea Tillman did not practice with a hamstring issue.

Why it matters: A lighter report points to better availability at key spots as Denver moves through the practice week. For a team still drawing attention after questions over Denver's play-calling, cleaner health news keeps the focus on preparation instead of attrition.

What to watch: Friday's final injury report will show whether Tillman carries a game designation into the weekend. If the rest of the report holds, Denver would enter the next step of the week with most of its core group available.
