Wilson: Orton a game-time decision for Broncos

It's looking more and more like Chris Simms will start at quarterback Sunday for the Denver Broncos against the San Diego Chargers.

Kyle Orton didn't practice all week due to a sprained left ankle.

Simms' last start was in 2006 for the Tampa Bay Bucccaneers as he incurred a serious spleen injury that endangered his life.

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels didn't rule out the possibility that Orton could play depending on how he warms up Sunday.

"If Kyle is completely able to do what we're going to ask him to do in the game plan, and can do it at a level that allows us to be successful, then we could give him an opportunity to play," McDaniels said. "If he's not capable of playing at that level, or doing some of the things that we need him to be able to do, then you go with the guy who practiced."

Simms said he's prepared to play.

"If needed, I'll be ready," Simms said. "I know I haven't had a great deal of playing time the last few years but I think a lot of guys saw what I did in training camp and the snaps I got in the preseason, and hopefully they are as confident in me as I am in myself."
