ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Wesley Woodyard, Denver’s leading tackler, is vowing to be back on the field Sunday for the Broncos’ showdown at Baltimore.

Woodyard missed the Broncos’ game Thursday night at Oakland because of a sprained left ankle. He was replaced by veteran D.J. Williams and rookie Danny Trevathan.

Had the game been on Sunday, Woodyard said he definitely would have played. Instead, he got a week to recuperate from the injury he sustained Dec. 2 against Tampa Bay.

Woodyard, who has collected 97 tackles in his first year as the starter at weakside linebacker, said he agreed with the coaches and medical staff who held him out last week as the Broncos (10-3) won their eighth straight game.
