The Denver Broncos consider Julius Thomas "day to day" with an ankle injury, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN. The report also says that the Broncos "do not sound overly concerned" about the injury, which is definitely a good sign. Thomas left Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams early on and was originally labeled questionable to return to the game, though he did not return.

Denver won’t return to practice until Wednesday, and we won’t have a real solid idea of how Thomas is looking when it comes to Week 12 until Thursday’s session. He could miss practice on Wednesday and it could just be a rest day or the team being cautious, though if he does practice on Wednesday fantasy owners can probably stop worrying.
Fantasy Impact: Thomas has 40 receptions for 426 yards and 12 touchdowns on the season. His yardage totals are down from a year ago, but his touchdown numbers have been stellar. From a fantasy standpoint, he’s been great, and it’s good news that fantasy owners probably don’t need to worry so much about this knee injury. Keep an eye out for further updates on Wednesday.
