Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Remains absent from practice

Bouye (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Bouye will need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before being cleared to retake the field, so he's running out of time to return in time for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Duke Dawson and Essang Bassey will stand to handle increased snaps if Bouye misses more time.
