(AP) — Jordan Norwood's season-ending knee injury jumbled the Denver Broncos' search for Trindon Holliday's replacement on punt returns and dented the team's depth at wide receiver. Given his concussion history, Welker was expected to field punts whenever the Broncos were backed up deep or the game was close with Norwood taking the field whenever there was a chance to have a big return. With Welker missing two days of joint practices with the Houston Texans this week for personal reasons, there's a strong possibility Burse will get a long look Saturday night when the teams face each other in a preseason game. Norwood tore his left ACL on Tuesday while trying to make a sideline catch in the end zone on a throw from Peyton Manning. Burse had a 20-yard punt return and caught a 34-yard TD pass from Brock Osweiler against Seattle in the preseason opener. Norwood's injury gives Burse an opportunity to make a better second impression and keep the Broncos from scouring the waiver wire for a returner. Every special teams meeting Coach (Jeff) Rodgers starts off the meeting saying, 'Hey, Burse, what's the most important thing in our return game?' Just get the ball back to our offense.
