McManus (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
McManus was sidelined during practice Wednesday due to what Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett characterized as a minor right quadriceps injury. While it's unclear when or how this issue first arose, it appears the 31-year-old kicker is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game versus Kansas City. McManus will now have one opportunity to return to a full practice before Friday's final injury report, though Hackett already said he doesn't plan to bring in another kicker for the Week 14 divisional clash.
