Status: Questionable. Likely will play
As of Saturday afternoon, Kyle Orton's left ankle had not recovered enough to play Sunday, according to the Denver Post. This does not mean that Orton is out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. He'll still test the ankle Sunday morning to see if he can go. But considering this is a 4:15 ET start, you should not be waiting on this situation in any leagues. Chris Simms took the first-team reps all week and will start if Orton sits.
