Broncos place Talib, Ware on non-football injury list
ENGLEWOOD—Aqib Talib will require more time to recover from gunshot wounds to his right leg.
The Denver Broncos have placed Talib on their preseason non-football injury list (NFI).
Broncos General Manager John Elway said during the training camp opening media barbeque Wednesday that outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware would also go on the non-football injury list. Ware has been battling a back injury in recent years.
As a practical matter the NFI is equivalent to the PUP, or physically unable perform list. The NFI is designated to players who suffer an injury unrelated to football.
