Final injury report for AFC Championship looks great for Broncos

The NFL released the latest injury report for the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots on Friday.

Rest has been a great cure for the Broncos. From a season worst of 41.5 percent of the roster on the injury report during mid-season, now all 11 players on the report have had three straight practices this week. All listed players are probable status for the game.

Bradley Roby was added on Friday as a precaution.

Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. seems to be recovering from his deep bone bruise in his left shoulder. The team should be able to anticipate his pain better during the game.

Guard Evan Mathis will start in place of Max Garcia who is suffering from a groin injury.

No doubt healthy players contributed to the highly successful Friday practice.

The Patriots are not so fortunate. The team has 21 players listed on the injury report for this week, with 16 listed as questionable.
