Melvin Gordon III - On track for Sunday Gordon (lower leg) is expected to play against the Steelers on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gordon sat out practice Wednesday but was able to participate in a limited fashion Thursday, and it appears he'll be able to play through the injury this weekend at Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old is trending in the right direction, though it's unclear if he's made enough progress to avoid taking a questionable tag into Sunday's contest.

Mike Boone - Close to returning Head coach Vic Fangio said Thursday that Boone (quadriceps) is close to making his return to the field, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact The veteran running back has been practicing for the past two weeks, and it's possible that the team could activate him from IR ahead of Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. Even if Boone returns, he likely would be in third in line for work out of the backfield behind Melvin Gordon or Javonte Williams. Gordon is dealing with a bruised lower leg and was limited in practice Thursday as a result, so Boone's return to the roster ahead of this weekend's contest could hinge on Gordon's availability.

Diontae Spencer - Limited in Thursday's practice Spencer (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Spencer was unable to practice Wednesday, so it was encouraging to see him back on the field a day later. The 29-year-old will likely have to log a full practice Friday if he hopes to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Albert Okwuegbunam - Not practicing Thursday Okwuegbunam (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact Okuwegbunam suffered his hamstring injury during Wednesday's practice and was unable to take the field Thursday. His status for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh is in question, while Eric Saubert and Andrew Beck will likely see increased roles if the 23-year-old is ruled out.

Melvin Gordon III - Returns to practice Gordon, who is dealing with a lower leg contusion, will return to a limited practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Friday's final injury report of the week will determine whether or not Gordon approaches Sunday's game against the Steelers with a Week 5 injury designation, but it would surprise us if he's unavailable for the contest. Assuming he's a go this weekend, Gordon is in line to continue to work in a timeshare with fellow RB Javonte Williams.
