Orton, Simms Expected Back at Practice

The Denver Broncos expect injured quarterbacks Kyle Orton and Chris Simms to return to practice this week, Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports. Simms is expected to go through a light workout Sunday as he recovers from a high ankle sprain, while Orton is expected to test his injured right index finger Tuesday.

Sunday’s practice ended moments ago, but the Broncos would not confirm whether Simms participated. Workouts are closed to the media until Tuesday.

Meanwhile, rookie QB and preseason star Tom Brandstater waits in the wings. Who suits up next Sunday against Cincinnati all depends on how these beat up signal callers respond to practice.

But the fact that they’re giving it a go at all is a promising sign.
