Injuries are an unfortunate but inevitable part of every training camp. Roster spots can be lost or gained as a result.
As Denver Broncos training camp rolls on, we’ll provide a running log of injury reports coming out of UCHealth Training Center.
Important Note: Many of these reports will be preliminary in nature. We’ll do our best to update each situation as more information is available.
