Broncos Pro Bowl outside linebacker Nik Bonitto has not practiced this week because he had a bone spur removed from his foot.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton quashed any notion that star outside linebacker Nik Bonitto isn’t practicing because of his contract status.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton confirmed Tuesday that Bonitto injured "something in his foot" during the game, but "he's going to be all right" and expects him to practice Wednesday. “He’s doing fine," Payton added. "I anticipate him practicing tomorrow and this week. He should be in good shape.”
