Broncos coach Vic Fangio told reporters on Friday that being
cleared by an independent physician is the last hurdle for
Bridgewater to clear.
"Right now he's progressed nicely -- he's cleared up to this
point," Fangio said after Friday's practice. "They'll decide
(Saturday) for the final verdict."
The team listed Bridgewater as questionable on the injury
report. He was a full participant on Friday after being limited
on Thursday.
Bridgewater was injured during last Sunday's 23-7 loss to the
Baltimore Ravens. He is off to a strong start by completing 72.1
percent of his passes for 892 yards, five touchdowns and no
interceptions.
Drew Lock will start if Bridgewater isn't cleared. Lock was
12-of-21 passing for 113 yards and one interception against
Baltimore.
Denver tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) will miss the
contest. Also listed as questionable are running back Melvin
Gordon III (leg), receivers Diontae Spencer (chest) and
Courtland Sutton (ankle) and cornerback Patrick Surtain II
(chest).
