ENGLEWOOD – The Broncos are re-signing guard Calvin Throckmorton to the practice squad, a source said Friday. Throckmorton was waived Thursday and cleared waivers Friday. He officially can be added Saturday to Denver’s practice squad when the next day of NFL transactions comes out. The Bronco s have an opening on the practice squad so no corresponding move needs to be made to bring Throckmorton back. The Broncos on Friday also listed linebacker Justin Strnad as out for Sunday’s game against Jacksonville at Empower Field at Mile High due to an ankle injury. Strnad was hurt in last Sunday’s 34-26 win over Green Bay and didn’t practice all week. When Throckmorton was waived, that cleared a spot on the 53-man roster for guard Ben Powers to be activated Saturday off injured reserve. A source said on Thursday that he would be activated, barring a setback. Powers suffered a biceps injury Oct. 5 at Philadelphia and had surgery. He was designated for return from injured reserve on Dec. 10. Powers was listed as a full participant in practice Friday and as questionable to face the Jaguars. When asked if Powers would move immediately into the starting lineup upon his return, Broncos coach Sean Payton indicated that it likely wouldn’t be the case. “There’s always that transition period,” Payton said after Friday’s practice at Broncos Park. “And so you’re never going to throw someone in there. … There’s that transition period for anyone who is coming off an injury like that.” The Broncos also listed as questionable for Sunday’s game linebacker Karene Reid, who has missed the past four games while on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Reid, a full participant in practice all week, is also in line to be activated Saturday off injured reserve. He would provide depth at linebacker with Strnad out. Wide receiver Pat Bryant will return to action Sunday after missing the game against the Packers due to a hamstring injury. He was given no injury designation Friday. ...read more read less
