Abrams-Draine (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
The cornerback exited Sunday's win over the Chiefs with the injury and was unable to return. With Denver's cornerbacks now healthy, Abrams-Draine was relegated to a pure special-teams role in Week 8.

Broncos' Kris Abrams-Draine: Picks off Darnold in Week 6 win
Rotowire
Abrams-Draine recorded six tackles (four solo), three pass breakups, including an interception, and one forced fumble in Thursday night's 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks.
With Pat Surtain (ankle) inactive for the second straight game, Abrams-Draine played 76.5 percent of the Broncos' defensive snaps and had easily the best game of his young career. He picked off Sam Darnold late in the fourth quarter but was picked on in coverage for much of the night, as the Seahawks avoided Riley Moss' side of the field.

Broncos' Kris Abrams-Draine: Nabs first interception of career
Rotowire
Abrams-Draine tallied four tackles (three solo) and an interception during the Broncos' 34-27 loss to the Chargers this past Thursday.
The rookie fifth-round pick out of Missouri has seen his snap count at outside corner increase in the Broncos' last two games due to Riley Moss's knee injury. Abrams-Draine took advantage of his increased playing time in Week 16, when he picked off a pass from Justin Herbert intended for Joshua Palmer late in the second quarter. It was the first interception of Abrams-Draine's young NFL career, but he could revert to a backup role for Week 17 against the Bengals if Moss is able to progress in his recovery enough to play.
