ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos will be without Pro Bowl cornerback Aqib Talib for their Sunday night showdown with the Oakland Raiders.Talib was sent for a cortisone injection in his lower back Friday and coach Gary Kubiak said he was optimistic that will help Talib return to the field soon.Talib missed Denvers 27-19 victory over San Diego last week when his back stiffened during the teams walkthrough the day before the game. He missed practice all of this week and traveled to California on Thursday for a second opinion on his back, which began bothering him two weeks ago.Bradley Roby started in his place last week and earned the AFCs defensive player of the week honors after making seven tackles, two pass breakups and a pick-6 of Philip Rivers.Roby said Sunday nights game, which pits two 6-2 teams and marks a revival of the rivalry that had faded in recent years -- along with the Raiders fortunes -- marks another opportunity for me to go out and show what I can do and help this team win.Hell team with Chris Harris Jr. to cover Michael Crabtree and, if he plays, Amari Cooper, who have accounted for 99 catches, 1,356 yards and eight touchdowns. Cooper is questionable with a back injury.We just need the young guys to continue to step up, Harris said. They dont have to do too much, just play their role. We still like our matchups, me and Robe and Doss or Kayvon, whoever plays, and so we feel like we can still cover them.Kayvon Webster (hamstring) returned to practice Friday and is questionable for the game. He got hurt after just a handful of snaps last week, and Lorenzo Doss stepped into the slot and had two big pass breakups, including a deflection on fourth-and-goal from the 2 with 2:40 remaining.Weve seen Doss, hes been around the ball forever, Harris said. I dont even worry about Doss because hes like a ball magnet. Hes just got those natural instincts that you cant coach.This is a perfect game for him to get a lot of picks. He could have had two last week, and then just think about it: nobody would be talking about being nervous that Talibs out because the dude just had two picks last week.The equalizer to losing Talib this weekend, Harris suggested, is having pass rusher DeMarcus Ware back from a broken arm to pressure Raiders QB Derek Carr.Having D-Ware back, that kind of takes away any of the losses, having that pressure right there, Harris said. As long as we get a lot of pressure on this dude, thats what its about.Ware returned last week after a six-week absence, but said he was only about 70 percent. This week, he proclaimed himself 100 percent.The moves that I did were more speed-type moves, just bending, ripping, going around the corner, trying to get to the quarterback and not using that arm when it came to power moves, Ware said. Now, I can.The secondary digging so deep into its depth is of little concern to star pass rusher Von Miller.Im not worried about any of those guys, Miller insisted. Weve got the best secondary in the National Football League ... Its still the No Fly Zone.The Broncos also are expecting to get back inside linebacker Brandon Marshall from a pulled left hamstring that sidelined him last week.Its doing a lot better, Marshall said. Im feeling good. Im excited to be out there with my brothers again.Also back is defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who suffered a broken rib when he was plowed over by San Diego running back Melvin Gordon during Robys interception return for a touchdown.Phillips will likely coach from the booth rather than the sideline for just the second time as a coordinator. The other time came in Houston after he had his gall bladder and a kidney removed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonJon Casey Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.
