Champ Bailey

1/15/2006

In a key play leading to Denver's 27-13 playoff win over the defending Super Bowl champs Saturday, Bailey intercepted a Tom Brady pass in his own end zone and ran the ball back 100 yards in the third quarter. New England tight end Ben Watson chased down Bailey and knocked him down at tbe Patriots' one-yard line. The pick set up a one-yard touchdown rush by Mike Anderson, giving the Broncos a 17-6 lead.

12/12/2005

Picking off an errant Kyle Boller pass in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, Bailey recorded his fifth consecutive game with an interception, breaking the Broncos' franchise record formerly held by Tyrone Braxton (1996). Despite missing some time with a hamstring injury earlier this season, the cornerback has 49 tackles, one forced fumble and eight interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns in 11 games on the year.

10/18/2005

Bailey plans to work out with the Broncos this week -- at least on a limited basis -- and barring any setbacks, hopes to be in the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the New York Giants. Following a two-game absence, the cornerback returned to action this past Sunday, but was forced to leave after his hamstring began giving him problems early in the third quarter.

10/17/2005

Bailey was back in the Broncos' lineup for Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots after missing the team's previous two games with a strained left hamstring. However, the leg began giving him problems early in the third quarter, forcing him to miss the remainder of the contest. He had just two tackles prior to his departure.

10/14/2005

If Bailey is able to test out his leg at full speed on Friday and no problems are reported, he could return to the Broncos' lineup for this weekend's matchup with the New England Patriots. The cornerback has been sidelined since straining his hamstring in Week 3 and currently is listed as questionable on the Broncos' injury report. He's taken part in portions of the team's workouts this week, albeit on a very limited basis.

10/9/2005

Bailey's strained hamstring improved enough for him to return to practice last week, albeit on a limited basis. However, not wanting to take any chances with the injury, the Denver Broncos decided to keep the cornerback on the sidelines for Sunday's meeting with the Washington Redskins. Bailey has missed two consecutive games after playing in 99 straight.

10/6/2005

Bailey took part in portions of the Denver Broncos' practice on Wednesday and after the workout admitted that he should be ready for this weekend's game if his hamstring continues to improve over the next few days. The cornerback will test the leg by going full speed on Friday before making a decision on his availability for Sunday's meeting with the Washington Redskins, his former team.

10/3/2005

Bailey's streak of consecutive games played has come to an end, as he was on the Broncos' inactive list for Sunday's meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The cornerback has been sidelined since straining his left hamstring last weekend. In three games this season, he has 13 tackles, one forced fumble and two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown.

9/30/2005

After an MRI on Bailey's strained left hamstring revealed no major damage, the Broncos have stated that the cornerback will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

9/28/2005

An MRI on Bailey's strained left hamstring has revealed no major damage. The Broncos' cornerback, who has not missed a game since joining the NFL in 1999, will continue to receive treatment on a daily basis, but likely won't practice with the team until later in the week, if at all. He was still limping noticeably on Tuesday.

9/27/2005

Already nursing a sore shoulder, Bailey was unable to return to the Broncos' lineup after straining his left hamstring in the second quarter of Monday night's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The cornerback is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury. At this point, he has been listed as day-to-day.

9/19/2005

Despite lingering soreness in the shoulder he dislocated the previous week, Bailey was in the Broncos' starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the San Diego Chargers. The cornerback recorded just three tackles in the contest, but picked off a pass and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown.

9/17/2005

Bailey practiced with the team again on Friday, and has had his status upgraded to probable for Sunday's game with the Chargers. He dislocated his shoulder in Denver's loss to the Dolphins last week. Bailey, who hasn't missed a game in his seven-year NFL career, said he expects to play.

9/15/2005

Bailey was expected to wait until Friday to return to practice, but he worked out in pads with the Broncos on Thursday and seemed confident that he would be in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the San Diego Chargers. The cornerback currently is listed as questionable on the team's injury report with a dislocated shoulder.

9/12/2005

Originally diagnosed with a separated left shoulder, Bailey instead has a dislocated shoulder, an injury less severe. The Broncos' cornerback, who underwent further tests on Monday, suffered the injury while making a tackle early in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. He will be re-evaluated later this week to determine if he'll be ready for the team's next contest. Bailey has not missed a regular season game since joining the league in 1999.

9/8/2005

Bailey's hamstring has improved, and he has been working out with the Denver Broncos on a daily basis. Due to the injury, the cornerback was limited through the majority of training camp as a precautionary measure, but he is slated to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Miami Dolphins.

8/31/2005

Although he won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals, Bailey has returned to practice with the Denver Broncos and fully expects to be in the starting lineup when the regular season kicks off next weekend. As a precautionary measure, the cornerback has been limited most of the month, due to a nagging hamstring injury.

8/25/2005

The Denver Broncos fully expect Bailey to be available for their Week 1 battle with the Miami Dolphins, but they aren't going to take any chances with his nagging hamstring injury and have decided to hold the cornerback out of the team's final two preseason contests.

8/18/2005

The Broncos are not taking any chances with Bailey, who continues to battle tightness in his hamstring. The cornerback has been limited in practice this week, and if the problem lingers over the next couple of days, he'll likely be held out of Saturday's exhibition meeting with the San Francisco 49ers.

8/11/2005

Bailey has been limited this week after aggravating a hamstring injury during the Broncos' workouts on Monday. Although the ailment is not considered serious, the team is not going to take any chances with their star cornerback and likely will hold him out of Saturday's exhibition game against the Houston Texans.
