Vic Fangio has turned the Denver Broncos loose on the blitz

A.J. BOUYE
May return in Week 7 Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Bouye (shoulder) could return to the lineup Sunday versus the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Bouye returned to practice last Wednesday, so he has 16 days left to be activated from IR. We'll see if he can ramp up to a full-speed practice by Friday, which would essentially guarantee he'll play Sunday. Bouye will immediately handle an every-snap workload once he's back in the lineup, and either Essang Bassey or De'Vante Bausby would revert to a reserve role.

Trending in wrong direction Coach Vic Fangio said Thursday that it's "doubtful" that Bouye (shoulder) suits up in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Bouye returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since being placed on IR on Sept. 14. The team has 20 days to activate him, but it doesn't appear that will occur in time for the Week 6 contest. Expect Bouye to continue healing up while practicing, and for Michael Ojemudia to handle starting duties opposite Bryce Callahan in Week 6.

Back at practice Bouye (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to return from IR, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact The Broncos will have three weeks to take the veteran cornerback off IR, and such a move could happen as soon as before Sunday's game against the Patriots if Bouye impresses in practice. Bouye hasn't seen the field since dislocating his shoulder in the first half of Denver's season opener.

Week 5 return unlikely Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Bouye (shoulder) is a long shot to suit up Sunday against the Patriots, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Bouye is eligible to come off IR, but it looks like he won't be doing so until Week 6 against Miami at the earliest. Denver's expected to trot out Michael Ojemudia as the starter opposite Bryce Callahan at cornerback in New England.

Officially on IR The Broncos placed Bouye (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction report.
Impact Bouye suffered the injury in Monday night's game against the Steelers, an injury the team indicated was a dislocated shoulder. The recovery timeline is set between two and three weeks, but the cornerback won't be eligible to return until at least Week 5. With Bouye sidelined, Bryce Callahan bumped to the outside and Essang Bassey covered the slot in Monday's game, and they are expected to keep doing so this week against Tampa Bay.

Broncos place Miller on IR, call up Bausby from scout squad

Won't face Steelers, could hit IR Bouye (shoulder) is considered week-to-week and won't suit up in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact Bouye will be forced to miss time due to the dislocated shoulder he suffered during Monday's loss to the Titans. If the initial recovery timetable of 2-to-3 weeks is accurate, it wouldn't be surprising for Denver to place Bouye on injured reserve to free up a roster spot. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Bouye won't require any surgical procedures to address the injury.

Sustains dislocated shoulder Bouye dislocated his shoulder in Monday's win over the Titans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact The team will run additional tests to see the extent of the damage, but at this time, Bouye's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Week 2's matchup versus the Steelers. When Bouye exited the game Monday, Bryce Callahan bumped to the outside and Essang Bassey covered the slot, and the Broncos could roll with a similar formation if Bouye is forced to miss time.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Set for MRI Bouye will undergo an MRI after suffering a shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Titans, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact Bouye sustained this injury in the first half and didn't return to the prime-time matchup. Head coach Vic Fangio didn't provide much of an update besides that it was a shoulder injury, but the MRI results and Wednesday's practice report should reveal more.

Impact Bouye's shoulder injury occurred late in the first half, resulting in Essang Bassey entering in the slot and Bryce Callahan moving outside. That figures to be the alignment at cornerback the rest of the way for Denver.
