ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Demaryius Thomas aching left hip only bothers him when he makes sharp cuts or takes a hit.In other words, just about everything the Denver Broncos receiver does on the field.Still, Thomas feels optimistic about his playing status Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.The Broncos will take an extra cautious approach with Thomas to make sure he stays strong for the season.Understandable, since last year Thomas dealt with a neck injury that lingered for most of the season.For a second straight day, Thomas was limited in practice. He took the same number of reps Thursday as the day before, but these were a little more significant, coach Gary Kubiak said.We try to script him the right way to get reps, but not have him waste a lot of running in other areas, Kubiak said.Thomas said he hurt the hip on his second catch in a season-opening win over Carolina on Thursday -- a short reception during the Broncos second drive. He had an MRI and then had it sent off for a second opinion.Protocol, he said.Steadily, his hip is getting less and less sore. The extra days of rest have definitely helped.I think Ill be fine, said Thomas, who signed a five-year, $70 million contract before last season.Were still going to take it day by day. ... Come game time, nothing to worry about then because youre either going to go out and be 100 (percent) to help the team or be on the sideline.Although hes optimistic, hes learned the painful way not to rush back.Thomas was bothered by a neck ailment after taking a hit from Minnesota safety Harrison Smith last October. It stayed with him.And while Thomas posted his second consecutive 100-catch season and fourth straight season with at least 1,300 yards receiving, he was a non-factor in the playoffs, catching just seven of 21 passes thrown his way for 60 yards and no touchdowns.Thomas has been hampered by injuries before, missing the first five games in 2011 while recovering from an offseason Achilles tendon injury and a broken thumb suffered in training camp.In 2010, the first-round pick out of Georgia Tech missed the first game of his rookie season with a foot ailment. He missed more later in the season because of a balky ankle.Lately, hes been extremely durable -- starting every game since 2012.Knock on wood, Thomas said as he did just that on his locker. It (injuries) happens with what we do as a profession. You keep getting your treatment and hopefully by game day youre ready to go and hopefully nothing freaky happens.Should Thomas be limited, things would open up for receiver Emmanuel Sanders, along with Cody Latimer and Jordan Taylor. Bennie Fowler could potentially see more playing time as well.First, though, he has to fully mend. Fowler was a DNP -- did not practice -- for a second straight day.The 23-year-old receiver from Michigan State has been sidelined since breaking a bone in his left elbow during a preseason game on Aug. 11. Fowler said hes 100 percent, but would leave it up to the coaching staff whether he would play.I know that D.T. might be struggling a little bit with his hip right now, Fowler said. But at the same time, I cant go out there and risk myself getting hurt and setting myself back.Game notesDE Derek Wolfe was limited in practice because of a sore neck. He practiced yesterday and (it) got a little sore on him, Kubiak said. Well see where hes at (Friday). ...

PETERSBURG, Fla.NEW YORK -- David Wright says Jose Reyes actions in a domestic-violence dispute were horrible, but he is pleased his former teammate is being given a second chance by the New York Mets.Wright and Reyes were teammates in New York from 2004-11, before Reyes left to sign a $106 million, six-year contract with Miami. Reyes was traded to Toronto and then Colorado, which released him last month after Reyes served a 59-day domestic violence suspension.Major League Baseball imposed the penalty after Reyes got involved in an altercation with his wife last October that initially resulted in a criminal charge, later dropped. Reyes signed a minor league contract with the Mets last weekend and is expected to join the big league team soon.I feel like what he did was awful, terrible, theres just no other way around it. Wright said Friday. Hes done what he can do to earn a second chance. If hes going to be given a second chance, I think this is a good place for him. I think hes comfortable here. II think this is home for him.dddddddddddd And again, I cant say it enough, what he did is something that is horrible and should never have done. So I hope that hes learned his lesson.A four-time All-Star shortstop, Reyes has shifted to third base in the Mets minor league system and could take over the position while Wright recovers from surgery last month to repair a herniated disk in his neck. Wright said Friday that he may not return from the surgery until 2017 .Ive talked to him a lot recently. Hes asked some questions about third base, said Wright, the Mets captain. I think hes going to bring up a ton of energy, and I think thats something that we could really use, his dynamic on field, his speed, his charisma. I think his ability, what he brings to the baseball field, is something that could really be a kind of pick me up for this team and the fans. ' ' '
