Tracy Porter out Sunday and Other AFC West News

Veteran cornerback Tracy Porter was supposed to help a beleaguered secondary in Denver, but after poor performances and a scary injury, it appears the Broncos may be moving on.

According to Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post, Porter is expected to be listed as “out” on Friday’s injury report a day after he was upgraded from limited participation to full participation.

Porter has been prescribed medication to prevent future seizures, according to Legwold, and it’s becoming clear that the Broncos would rather play Chris Harris and Tony Carter. That doesn’t mean Porter won’t be needed at a later time, but poor play prior to the health issues and stellar play from Harris and Carter have pushed Porter down the depth chart.

There is the possibility that Porter will be out because his conditioned worsened, which is something no one wants. Hopefully this is just the team is being extra cautious because it has that luxury.
