The Denver Broncos have officially started the clock on safety Delarrin Turner-Yell.

On Wednesday, Turner-Yell took part in practice for the first time this year, logging a limited session. The team now has 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster or leave him on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the remainder of the season.

A 2022 fifth-round draft pick, Turner-Yell has been shelved on the PUP list since the beginning of training camp — the result of a torn ACL suffered last December. The Oklahoma product appeared in 30 games prior to his injury, registering 26 solo tackles, one quarterback hit, and a pass breakup.

If recalled to the active roster, Turner-Yell will likely function as a reserve/special-teamer behind starters Brandon Jones and PJ Locke.

Locke, who missed Week 8 with a thumb ailment, did not practice Wednesday.
