Mike Adams will start at strong safety this week against Denver with Anderson working in a backup role, ESPN reports.

Sergio Brown, Anderson and Adams competed for the starting job after Delano Howell went on IR with a neck injury. Anderson could still work his way into more playing time at safety as Adams may not be too secure as the starter.

"I'm feeling really good. I'm right on track to get back, but it's just a process," Anderson said. "We'd like to get back before the season and be 100 percent by then."

Still just 26 years old, he should be able to make close to a full recovery.
