DENVER - The status of Denver Broncos running back Quentin Griffin for Sunday's game against Carolina remained questionable Friday after a cameo appearance at practice.
"He practiced a little bit, it (left ankle) got a little bit sore so we kept him out the rest of practice," coach Mike Shanahan said. "So it will be a game-time decision."
Griffin had missed two previous days of practices.
"The good part about it you could see he could still run," Shanahan said. "But he can't cut 100 percent right now."
If Griffin is unable to go, Shanahan can choose between Reuben Droughns, Tatum Bell and Garrison Hearst to start against the Panthers.
Yeah it sucks. The thing that pisses me off is it isn't clear who would be the starter if Q isn't. "Garrison (Hearst) had a good week," Shanahan said. "Reuben (Droughns has) had a good week. Tatum (Bell) is healthy, so it's nice to have him back."
To me it sounds like he is favoring Hearst or Droughns over Bell if Griffin can't go, but who knows what the hell Shanahan is going to do. I guess we'll most likely have to wait until just before the game.
