Broncos Coach Gary Kubiak told reporters Friday that cornerback Aqib Talib got an injection in his back that the team hopes will allow Talib’s back to “calm down” over the weekend.
As previously reported, Talib won’t play Sunday at Oakland. The injection comes a day after Talib flew to California for a second opinion on his back issue.
Kubiak said Talib, who also missed last week’s game, is having “good days and bad days” but said the team “feels good moving forward” about Talib getting back to health.
Bradley Roby started in his place last week and was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after returning an interception for a touchdown. Roby will get the start again Sunday night.
