Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil (shoulder) returned to practice Friday and participated "full bore."

After an MRI showed minimal damage to Dumervil's left shoulder, he was given Wednesday and Thursday's practices off. He returned Friday and is fully expected to start against a Chargers team that may be minus LT Jared Gaither. Dumervil has seven sacks and five forced fumbles through nine games this season.

An MRI of Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil's left shoulder revealed "no significant injury."

It's a major bullet dodged for the Broncos after Dumervil missed the final three quarters of Sunday's win. The Denver Post expects Dumervil to be questionable for Week 11, but he appears to be headed for a one-week absence at worst. Dumervil has seven sacks through nine games, though he's graded out near neutrally in Pro Football Focus' ratings.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil will undergo a Monday MRI on his left shoulder.

Dumervil left in the second quarter and didn't return against the Panthers, which isn't a good sign. "You have to stay confident, man," is all he said after the win. Dumervil registered his seventh sack of the season Sunday and was replaced by rookie Malik Jackson. Dumervil also missed early-season action with a left shoulder last year. We'll know more on Monday.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil left Sunday's game in the second quarter with a left shoulder injury.

Deemed questionable to return, Dumervil is standing on the sidelines with his helmet off. Malik Jackson and Robert Ayers will pick up extra snaps as long as he's out.

Elvis Dumervil will not be charged for his July "road rage" arrest.

Dumervil allegedly approached another car, lifting up his shirt to reveal a gun. Police later found a gun in Dumervil's glove compartment. The star pass rusher should escape discipline from the league office, although commissioner Roger Goodell's power to issue suspensions for players not charged with a crime remains a gray area.

A road rage incident led to the felony arrest of Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil Saturday, according to Miami Beach police.

Dumervil was driving with a friend in South Beach when another car cut them off. An argument ensued with horn blowing, verbal threats and name calling, according to police. The accusers and a witness both say that Dumervil and his friend then approached the other car, each lifting up their shirts to display guns. When police arrived, Dumervil was asked if there was a gun in his car and he "stated no." Once the gun was found in the glove department, he was taken to jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The two-time Pro Bowler could be facing league discipline.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil could land in hot water with commissioner Roger Goodell as a multiple offender after his second arrest in three years.

Dumervil was cited for assault and disturbing the peace during the 2010 season, though the charges were eventually dropped. Dumervil's attorney also believes no charges will be forthcoming from Saturday's arrest for a felony count of aggravated assault with a firearm in Miami. Although Goodell previously suspended Ben Roethlisberger without an arrest, Dumervil would seem to be in the clear as long as the charges don't stick.

Broncos DE Elvis Dumervil was arrested in Miami on Saturday night and has been charged with third-degree felony aggravated assault with a firearm.

Police haven't released any additional information, but it is known that another man was arrested along with Dumervil. If convicted, Dumervil could face upwards of five years in prison. He was reportedly released on Saturday after posting $7,500 bail.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil shed ten pounds in the offseason in an attempt to regain explosiveness.

"Had to get back to what I know best," he said. Dumervil played last season at 260, and now weighs 250 pounds at 5-foot-11. Dumervil still managed 9.5 sacks in 14 games. Expect him to flirt with double-digit sacks again in 2012.

ESPN reports "some around league" believe Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil is dealing with a knee injury in addition to the ankle ailment that landed him on this week's injury report.

Probable for Saturday's Divisional Round game, Dumervil will play, but could be limited as the Broncos look to disrupt the Patriots' sophisticated passing attack. Dumervil notched a sack and forced fumble in last week's upset of the Steelers. The Broncos will have little chance of pulling off another stunner if they aren't getting consistent pressure from Dumervil and OLB Von Miller.

Broncos DL Elvis Dumervil has yet to record a sack this season.

Dumervil has been active for only five games this season with nagging shoulder and ankle injuries that have impacted his ability to get to the corner with his signature up-and-under move. Working in his favor is the fact that he's faced the likes of Chad Clifton, Marcus McNeill, Jake Long and Jeff Backus in the past four games, each of which have played in at least one Pro Bowl. He'll look to get on the board in another tough matchup with Oakland's Jared Veldheer this week. The Broncos are not a recommended fantasy defense for Week 9.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil (ankle) is active and will start against the Lions in Week 8.

Dumervil was in a walking boot early in the week, so he won't be at full strength against a burnable left tackle in Jeff Backus. This is still a great matchup for Matthew Stafford and the Lions' passing attack.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil (ankle) is not expected to practice this week.

Dumervil missed all of last season with a torn pectoral and two games earlier this season due to a shoulder injury. Now it looks like the pass-rusher is going to be sidelined again. It's good news for Matthew Stafford -- assuming Stafford's ankle allows him to play against the Broncos Sunday.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil left Sunday's game with an ankle injury and did not return.

Dumervil was spotted limping badly after the game and will be reevaluated Monday. He has no sacks in four games this year after racking up 17 in 16 games in 2009. A torn pectoral cost Dumervil the entire 2010 season.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil (shoulder) will be active against the Packers Sunday.

Dumervil made it through practice setback free this week, and will be active for the first time since Week 1. Now the challenge will be staying on the field for a player who has missed 18 of Denver's past 19 games with injury.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil (shoulder) is expected to return for Sunday's game against the Packers.

If the Broncos have any shot at upsetting the Packers in Lambeau, they'll need Dumervil and Champ Bailey (hamstring) in the lineup. Bailey is going to test his hammy in practice this week before making a decision. Meanwhile, Dumervil was held out of last week's loss in Tennessee as a precaution.

The Broncos have ruled out RE Elvis Dumervil (shoulder) for Week 3.

The Broncos listed Dumervil as questionable before deactivating against the Bengals, so this indicates either that he's suffered a setback or the injury is more serious than initially feared. In Week 2, the Broncos' starting ends were Jason Hunter (RE) and Robert Ayers (LE). They combined for three tackles.

According to FOX Sports' John Czarnecki, the Broncos will be without RE Elvis Dumervil (shoulder, questionable) for Week 2.

Dumervil did not participate in practice and was expected by many (including himself) to miss Sunday's Week 2 contest despite being listed as questionable on the weekly injury report. Denver will attempt to replace their star end with a three-man rotation consisting of Robert Ayers, Jason Hunter, and Derrick Harvey.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil has said publicly that he doesn't expect to return from his shoulder injury for a week or two.

Dumervil has yet to practice this week and seems unlikely to face the Bengals Sunday. Denver is expected to use a three-man end rotation of Robert Ayers, Jason Hunter, and Derrick Harvey. This should still be one of the lowest-scoring games of the weekend.

Coach John Fox won't have full updates on Elvis Dumervil (shoulder) and Champ Bailey (hamstring) until Wednesday, but suggested Dumervil's injury is not serious.

"Elvis was fine," said Fox. "He just aggravated it during the game." Consider Dumervil day-to-day and likely to play against the Bengals this week.
