McMillian (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's walkthrough. McMillan was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, but the 24-year-old corner will likely avoid an injury tag heading into Thursday night's game against New Orleans. He logged two solo tackles during the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers.

McMillian played 76 total snaps (73 defensive and three on special teams) and recorded two total tackles in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, but it now appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process. The Eastern Carolina product's participation Tuesday and Wednesday will provide the best indication of his potential availability for Thursday night's matchup against the Saints.
