Jones will likely only return kicks and punts if he's active on Monday Night Football. Andre' Davis and David Anderson would then fill in at third receiver.

"He didn't miss anything today," coach Gary Kubiak said. "There have been no setbacks. He's done a heckuva job to get back that fast." We expect Casey to take over as the primary pass-catching tight end, but it's advisable to hold off on starting him in fantasy leagues until he proves worthy.

Coach Gary Kubiak deemed Jones day-to-day and said Glenn Martinez would fill in on punt returns if necessary. Jones has an extra day to get ready with the Texans playing on Monday night.

The injury comes at a bad time for Jones, who was starting to see more action on offense. He has an extra day to get ready for the Monday night game, so he could return to practice later this week.

Casey is expected to return from knee surgery for Monday night's game against the Titans. The rookie will come off the bench behind Joel Dreessen, but is worth monitoring as a deep sleeper down the stretch. We all know about the role that Owen Daniels had in this offense before he went down.

This is a situation worth watching. Foster may initially see time on special teams, but coach Gary Kubiak made it clear that he wants to see more of the rookie on offense. Foster was considered an early-round prospect before an injury-plagued senior season at Tennessee. If the current trio can't improve their fumbling issues and 3.4 YPC, Foster could get a shot later on.

Nading will head back to the practice squad once he clears waivers.
