Palczewski (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports. The second-year offensive lineman from Illinois had missed the Broncos' last three contests due to a high-ankle sprain sustained in Week 5's win over the Raiders. However, Wednesday's full practice suggests he's now moved past the issue. Expect Palczewski to reclaim Denver's top right tackle duties in Week 9, when the Broncos travel to Baltimore.

Past ankle issue
Palczewski (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports. The second-year offensive lineman from Illinois had missed the Broncos' last three contests due to a high-ankle sprain sustained in Week 5's win over the Raiders. However, Wednesday's full practice suggests he's now moved past the issue. Expect Palczewski to reclaim Denver's top right tackle duties in Week 9, when the Broncos travel to Baltimore.
Not suiting up Week 8
Palczewski (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Carolina. Palczewski suffered a high-ankle sprain Week 5 against the Raiders and hasn't played since. He managed a trio of limited practices this week but isn't yet ready to return. Mike McGlinchey returned from injured reserve last Thursday and is starting at right tackle Sunday versus the Panthers.
Won't play Thursday night
Palczewski (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Saints, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Palczewski downgraded to a DNP in Wednesday's practice, so it's no surprise he won't suit up for Thursday night's contest. Expect Frank Crum to serve as the Broncos' top right tackle again in Week 7 with Palczewski set to miss his second consecutive game.
Estimated as limited
Palczewski (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation. Palczewski's limited estimation Monday is a positive sign after the 25-year-old didn't practice at all last week before missing the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers. His participation Tuesday and Wednesday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Broncos travel to New Orleans.
Missing Week 6
Palczewski (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. Palczewski didn't practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Raiders. With both Palcezewski and Luke Wattenberg (ankle) missing Sunday's divisional matchup, Denver will be without its top right tackle and center, respectively. Expect Frank Crum to fill in for Palczewski as he continues to nurse his ankle injury.
Dealing with high-ankle sprain
Palczewski (ankle) is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Palczewski underwent X-rays, which came back negative, after exiting Sunday's game in the second half. The offensive lineman is expected to undergo additional tests Monday to determine the severity of the injury.
Won't return vs. Las Vegas
Palczewski has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders due to an ankle injury, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Palczewski was evaluated for an ankle injury early in the second half, and he left for the locker room after visiting the medical tent. Matt Peart will be the Broncos' right tackle for the rest of Sunday's game.
