Locke (ankle) is not listed on the Broncos' injury report ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers.

Broncos' P.J. Locke: Starting chance awaits
Locke is expected to start at safety in Sunday's game against the Titans, Benjamin Allbright of KOA 850 AM Denver reports.
With Caden Sterns (hip) on injured reserve and Justin Simmons (knee) listed as questionable for the Week 10 contest but in line to sit out, Locke and Kareem Jackson are expected to form Denver's starting safety tandem. Locke hasn't played more than 22 percent of the Broncos' defensive snaps in any of his seven appearances this season, but he'll be in store for a big uptick in playing time Sunday.

Broncos' P.J. Locke: Returns to practice Thursday
Locke (concussion) was listed as a full participant at practice Thursday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Locke was forced to miss last Thursday's contest against the Colts after suffering a concussion in the Broncos' Week 4 matchup with the Raiders. With the safety returning to a full practice Thursday, it's safe to assume Locke is on the verge of passing concussion protocols and will likely be available Monday for a depth role behind Caden Sterns.
