Pat Bryant Set To Play In AFC Championship

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. That puts him on track to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday, despite suffering his second concussion of the season in last week's win over the Bills. The rookie was primed to play a big role in that one, catching three balls on Denver's first four offensive snaps. Consider Bryant the second-best fantasy bet in the Broncos' WR corps vs. New England, behind only Courtland Sutton. WR Troy Franklin has been limited in the first two practices of the week with a hamstring issue.
