The Bron­cos’ search for out­side line­backer help after Von Miller’s ankle injury includes vet­er­an Clay Matthews.

“We’re always look­ing and espe­cial­ly (because) our num­bers are low there now at the posi­tion,” coach Vic Fan­gio said before prac­tice Thurs­day. “Yeah, we’re look­ing, but we’re not going to do some­thing just for the sake of doing something.”

Fan­gio didn’t offer much on the Bron­cos’ talks with Matthews, who played last year for the Los Ange­les Rams and has been a free agent since being released March 19.

“(Gen­er­al man­ag­er) John (Elway) and the guys have been look­ing at pos­si­bil­i­ties out there,” Fan­gio said. “I don’t know exact­ly where all that stands (with Matthews) and where it went or what happened.”

Matthews’ agent, Ryan Williams, told NFL Net­work that his client wants to play this year, but talks with the Bron­cos didn’t pro­duce a deal.

Chubb lim­it­ed. The Bron­cos post­ed their first injury report of the sea­son in accor­dance with NFL rules.

Receiv­er Court­land Sut­ton was unable to fin­ish prac­tice because of a shoul­der injury.

Not par­tic­i­pat­ing in the non-padded work­out were Miller (who remains on the 53-man ros­ter) and inside line­backer Mark Bar­ron (ham­string). Bar­ron has missed all three prac­tices this week.

Lim­it­ed were Sut­ton, out­side line­backer Bradley Chubb (left knee), right guard Gra­ham Glas­gow (right ankle), receiv­er KJ Ham­ler (ham­string) and tight end Albert Okwueg­bunam (hip).

Oje­mu­dia improv­ing. Rook­ie cor­ner­back Michael Oje­mu­dia, who was in the No. 3 cor­ner com­pe­ti­tion before a quad injury derailed his camp, went through the full practice.

“He’s got­ten bet­ter every day,” Fan­gio said. “We’ve slow­ly pro­gressed him from rehab on the side (field) to indi­vid­ual to a few plays in prac­tice to where he’s (now) up to tak­ing a nor­mal allot­ment of prac­tice snaps. It’s been steady and nice (progress). He hasn’t had any pot­holes along the way.”

Impressed with Brown. When cor­ner­back A.J. Bouye was with Jack­sonville last year, he twice faced Titans then-rook­ie receiv­er A.J. Brown.

Brown had four catch­es for 135 yards and a touch­down in the Titans’ 42–30 win over the Jaguars in Week 11.

“He def­i­nite­ly (runs) good routes, but what stands out with him — when he gets the ball in his hands, it’s just yards after the catch,” Bouye said. “It’s hard to tack­le him one-on-one. He bounces off the tack­les. The teams that play him well are able to swarm around him and get him (tack­led).”
