The Denver Post reports Denver Broncos CB Champ Bailey (elbow) isn't saying when he might come off the PUP or what his injury problem actually is. 'I can't talk about it,' Bailey said. Earlier in the week, he said he felt 100 percent healthy. Head coach Josh McDaniels said Friday, July 31, that Bailey will return to the field when he is ready. 'I'm not talking about injuries,' McDaniels said. 'That's just going to be the policy all year.'

The Huddle Take: For IDPers this situation bears watching. Champ is a stat maker at the DB spot and when he 'can't talk' about his injury, that should send up a red flag of sorts. Watch and wait before committing to him for your team.

Denver Broncos CB Champ Bailey (groin) did not play in the team's Week 15 game because of a groin injury. The Broncos hope he is healthy enough to play in Week 16.

The Huddle Take: They've hoped that for a while, and he still isn't back. The Broncos play the Bills this week. If Bailey's not in, even J.P. Losman (if he once again fills in for Trent Edwards) could have a shot at a decent day.

Denver Broncos CB Champ Bailey (groin) did not play in the team's Week 12 game because of a groin injury. Bailey has a decent chance of playing in Week 13 but will have to be able to practice this week.

The Huddle Take: It's come to this: with Bailey out, even JaMarcus Russell looked decent against Denver. That's about as low as a defense can go. Bailey makes a difference when he plays, of course, but even with his return the Broncos have a suspect pass defense at best.
