ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (AP) -- Denver Broncos cornerback Tracy Porter missed practice Thursday to see a doctor about symptoms he continues to experience following a seizure he suffered in August.

Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said Porter is hoping to get medical clearance to play Sunday night against the New Orleans Saints, his former team.

Porter, who had no history of seizures, missed the Broncos' last game, at San Diego on Oct. 15, after he began experiencing light-headedness and a racing heart -- similar to the symptoms he felt before his seizure.

Smyth emphasized Porter didn't suffer a second seizure but was left back in Denver as a precaution. Porter returned to practice on a limited basis this week.

Porter's seizure was first reported by the Denver Post.
