games against the Raptors, losers in five straight as the host to Miami.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. A.J. Green Jersey . -- Jack Del Rio had a big Thanksgiving Day surprise for his team.
John Fox joined the players and coaches for their post-practice huddle
on the football field Thursday. Amid hails, hugs and handshakes, he told
them how thankful he was for his health, their hard work and his good
friend Del Rio for running things while he was recovering from
open-heart surgery.
"I believe there couldnt have been a better message on a better day,"
safety David Bruton said.
Of course, Fox also took the opportunity to do some coaching, imploring
his players to focus on beating Kansas City this weekend so that when he
officially returns to work Monday, hell have a first-place team
awaiting him.
It hasnt been determined whether Fox will coach from the sideline or the
booth for his first game back, when the Broncos host the Tennessee
Titans on Dec. 8. The team issued a statement Thursday saying that
"while no formal restrictions will be placed on his workload upon his
return, he will continue to be monitored by our medical staff as his
well-being remains our No. 1 priority."
Its been less than a month since Fox had his heart operation.
Team owner Pat Bowlen sent his private jet to Charlotte, N.C., on
Wednesday to bring Fox and his wife, Robin, back to Denver. Fox had been
recuperating at his off-season home after aortic valve replacement
surgery Nov. 4.
Del Rio said he invited Fox to drop by the office Thanksgiving morning
so that the entire team wouldnt have to show up at the Fox house for
turkey dinner.
"It was great to see (him) and very fitting on a day like today when
were all kind of taking a pause and taking a break and giving thanks,"
Del Rio said.
Fox will stay back in Denver when the Broncos visit Arrowhead Stadium on
Sunday for an AFC West showdown between 9-2 teams that could go a long
way in determining playoff positioning.
Del Rio has gone 2-1 in Foxs absence.
Fox has actually been back coaching for a while.
He and Del Rio talk every day, and he even Skyped his players during a
team meeting last week. He was breaking down plays upon his release from
the hospital, and on Wednesday quarterback Peyton Manning said theyve
communicated "a healthy amount" over the last three weeks.
His return was first reported by Fox Sports.
About a week after the surgery, Fox said on a conference call with
reporters that he was born with a bicuspid aortic valve, one that has
only two leaflets instead of the usual three. The aortic valve regulates
blood flow from the heart into the aorta, the major blood vessel that
brings blood into the body.
He said it was discovered in 1997 when a murmur showed up in a physical
while he was the Giants defensive co-ordinator. He was told earlier this
year that surgery was necessary, but he had hoped to delay the
operation until after the Super Bowl.
That changed when he almost passed out Nov. 2 while golfing in
Charlotte, two days after hed visited his cardiologist in Raleigh. Less
than 48 hours later, he had surgery, and he was released from the
hospital four days after that.
He said the typical hospital stay for such surgeries is five to seven
days. He also noted that he was "very, very healthy," saying his heart
condition was more of a birth defect than the result of any poor
lifestyle choices or too much stress. He pledged then get back to work
by seasons end.
Tight end Jacob Tamme called it a "pretty cool Thanksgiving treat to
have him back and see how happy he was to be back."
"I mean, its killing him (to be away)," Tamme said. "He loves it, man.
He loves being around this group and we love having him here. So it was
pretty awesome."
