Vele (ribs) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vele missed three straight practices before being ruled out for Denver's loss to the Steelers in Week 2, so even if he's limited, it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field. The rookie seventh-round pick caught all eight of his targets Week 1, so it would be a notable boost for the Broncos' passing offense to get him back on the field for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
