To avoid injury report
Coach Vic Fangio said Bridgewater (shin) won't be listed on the Broncos' injury report Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Bridgewater made a brief exit during Denver's Week 12 win against the Chargers due to a shin injury. He clarified what happened Wednesday, telling Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com that he landed on the back of tackle Cameron Fleming's cleat. Overall, Bridgwater fared modestly, per usual, completing 11 of 18 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown while scoring his second rushing TD of the campaign. Considering he'll avoid an injury designation entirely this week, he's good to go for Sunday's visit to Kansas City.
