Badie (back), who is still on injured reserve, is questionable to suit up in Saturday's Week 17 contest against the Bengals, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Badie landed on IR in early October due to a back injury. He was designated to return Tuesday and logged a trio of full practices this week. Badie hasn't yet been activated from IR, and Denver would need to make that move by the end of Friday in order for Badie to be eligible to suit up Saturday. If Badie does play against the Bengals, he probably wouldn't see much work on offense with fellow running backs Javonte Williams, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson all healthy.

Broncos Injury Report
Badie (back), who is still on injured reserve, is questionable to suit up in Saturday's Week 17 contest against the Bengals, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Badie landed on IR in early October due to a back injury. He was designated to return Tuesday and logged a trio of full practices this week. Badie hasn't yet been activated from IR, and Denver would need to make that move by the end of Friday in order for Badie to be eligible to suit up Saturday. If Badie does play against the Bengals, he probably wouldn't see much work on offense with fellow running backs Javonte Williams, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson all healthy.
McLaughlin (quadricep) practiced fully Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. McLaughlin was inactive for this past Thursday's game against the Chargers, but the running back's return to full practice participation Wednesday (after a limited session Tuesday) paves the way for him to return to action Sunday against the Bengals. In that context, he'll rejoin a backfield that also includes Javonte Williams and Audric Estime, which sets up a potential time share that makes McLaughlin a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option in Week 17.
Moss (knee) was a full participant in Denver's practice Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. Moss managed to return to practice after missing the team's past three games with a knee injury. The 24-year-old is trending toward playing in Saturday's matchup versus the Bengals, where he will look to help slow down Cincinnati's high powered offense.
McLaughlin (quadricep) was a limited practice participant Tuesday. After exiting the Broncos' Week 15 win over the Colts on Dec. 15 with the quad injury, McLaughlin was unable to heal up quickly enough to play on a short week, prompting Denver to make him inactive for last Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. He'll have a better chance at returning to action for Saturday's game at Cincinnati, though McLaughlin will likely need to upgrade to full participation in practice Wednesday or Thursday to avoid carrying a designation into the contest.
Badie (back) was a full participant in his return to practice Wednesday. After being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday and having his 21-day practice window opened, Badie faced no restrictions while taking part in his first on-field work since Week 4. The third-year running back has spent the past two and a half months recuperating from a back injury he suffered in a Sept. 29 win over the Jets, so the Broncos may want him to turn in more than just one week of practice before activating him from IR. Denver signed Blake Watson off their practice squad Wednesday to bolster its depth in the backfield, which lessens the need for the team to rush Badie back from IR in advance of Saturday's game in Cincinnati.
The Broncos signed Watson to their active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Watson appeared in two games for Denver while on their practice squad and has carried the ball twice for nine yards. He could see increased usage once again during Saturday's matchup versus the Bengals if Jaleel McLaughlin (quadricep) is out again.
The Broncos designated Badie (back) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Badie was placed on IR on Oct. 5, just a few days after he collapsed on the sideline upon suffering a back injury in the Broncos' Week 4 win over the Jets. More than two and a half months later, he's ready to start practicing again, but given the length of his absence, the running back may not be activated from IR ahead of Saturday's game against Cincinnati.
Abrams-Draine tallied four tackles (three solo) and an interception during the Broncos' 34-27 loss to the Chargers this past Thursday. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Missouri has seen his snap count at outside corner increase in the Broncos' last two games due to Riley Moss's knee injury. Abrams-Draine took advantage of his increased playing time in Week 16, when he picked off a pass from Justin Herbert intended for Joshua Palmer late in the second quarter. It was the first interception of Abrams-Draine's young NFL career, but he could revert to a backup role for Week 17 against the Bengals if Moss is able to progress in his recovery enough to play.
