The Facts: Green went through a full Saturday and is looking forward to returning to action against Pittsburgh. The running back pulled his groin on the first play of the first preseason game and had been working out with the team on a limited basis. "I'm definitely ready to start the game and play the game against Pittsburgh, because it's going to be a physical game," Green said.

Diehards Line:According to the team's official web site, Green most likely will start the game, but Steve Slaton and Chris Taylor will be called upon to shoulder the load against the Steelers. "To all of a sudden go out there and start and think he (Green) is going to carry the ball 25 times this weekend, I think would be a mistake," HC Gary Kubiak said. Slaton, however, is recovering from turf toe; he should return to practice Monday. Green, Meanwhile, was having an excellent camp before his injury, saying he felt like he did in 2006 when he rushed for over 1,000 yards.
