What happened: Jonathon Cooper rejoins Denver's options for this week, per Troy Renck. Attention around Bo Nix turns to expectations going forward.

Why it matters: Denver's defense regains a familiar contributor during the season's push. Stability at quarterback will determine how that support translates.

What to watch: Denver's practice week will clarify Cooper's availability for game day. Nix's next outing will show where the offense stands.
