Broncos Ware In Doubt For Sunday

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - Broncos linebacker DeMarcus Ware sat out of practice Wednesday.

"His back's bothering him," head coach Gary Kubiak said. "Getting him looked at right here and we'll have to make a decision here at some point. Something he's been playing through and it's just bothering him a little more than normal right now."

Ware missed five games already this year due to injury, including a broken right arm.
