| Broncos FS Jim Leonhard Working His Way Into The Rotation | | |
Four days after he was cleared to return to practice, safety Jim Leonhard continues to see more work with the Broncos� defense and special teams.
This practice is good for both Leonhard, a veteran safety who signed with the Broncos Aug. 5, and the Broncos, as they try to envision where Leonhard will fit.
�I didn�t focus on him, specifically, but some of the coaches said that he fit in,� defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio said Friday afternoon. �You can tell he has great awareness and anticipation of things. We�ll continue to get him worked into it.�
Leonhard is expected to compete for a spot as a sure-tackling strong safety as well as punt returner. Friday marked Leonhard�s first practice in pads � albeit shoulder pads only � since joining the Broncos. He was activated off the physically unable to perform list on Tuesday.
�I thought he moved around well, and we�ll take that slow just like we are with all our injured players,� coach John Fox said. �When they�re deemed ready to play, we�ll play them.�
