ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (AP) -- Broncos cornerback Tracy Porter missed practice Friday and was still waiting to hear if doctors would clear him to play Sunday against his former team, the New Orleans Saints, after he experienced symptoms similar to those he felt before having a seizure earlier this year.

Porter wasn't allowed to fly to Denver's 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 in August.

Coach John Fox said Porter was "day-to-day."

In the locker room Friday, Porter said he visited doctors Thursday and they told him "everything looked normal," but they want to make sure he's 100 percent healthy before allowing him to play.
