Outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware did not practice with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday and there is a growing likelihood that he will not play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Ware left last Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders because of back spasms.

“We’ve got to get DeMarcus well,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “Obviously, we missed him through the course of (Sunday), but our depth showed up.”

Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett shared Ware’s spot in the second half and each recorded a sack while combining for five tackles and two quarterback hits.

Fellow outside linebacker Von Miller said Tuesday that Ware might be out “a couple weeks.”
