ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' battered secondary got a boost with the return to practice Tuesday of strong safety Brian Dawkins and cornerback Andre Goodman.

Dawkins (right) has missed two games since spraining his knee in the late going during an Oct. 10 game at Baltimore. Goodman has missed four of the last five games because of a quadriceps injury.

After getting an unusual off day on Monday, the team practiced on Tuesday at its Dove Valley headquarters to commence preparations for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers in London.

The 49ers are already in London, having left following their 23-20 loss to Carolina at Charlotte. The Broncos decided to prepare for the game stateside and plan to leave for London after completing Thursday's practice.

Dawkins and Goodman will be evaluated again on Wednesday to see how their injuries responded to the rigors of practice.
