After only five games, the Denver Broncos have reached a crucial point in the season. Not according to the media. Not according to the fans. Not according to the analysts. Not according to me.
According to the Broncos’ longest-tenured captain.
For the first time in what's felt like a long time, the Broncos were handed encouraging news on the injury front Tuesday.
Just how bad is the loss of Garett Bolles and Ronald Darby for the Broncos?
Bolles has the highest cap hit on the team this year, while Darby has third-biggest cap hit, with Russell Wilson sandwiched in-between the two.
Dulcich & Ojemudia are IR bound… but will be back soon.
Purcell & Tomlinson were released… but will be back soon.
Turner & Cleveland… will be back soon.
Brandon Johnson… could be back soon?
George Paton explains all of his roster moves ⬇️⬇️
Nathaniel Hackett’s No. 1 goal for the preseason is to enter Week 1 healthy.
With three weeks until opening day, Hackett’s goal has already taken a hit.
But it’s not all bad news on the injury front. The Broncos are getting a few players back.
Exactly four weeks out from the start of their season, the Denver Broncos received a plethora of positive news along the injury front.
The Broncos’ offense and defense were neck and neck heading into the final period on Tuesday.
But Russell Wilson and Kendall Hinton were able to do just enough to get points and win the day.
A hamstring injury did its best to derail Michael Ojemudia's promising young career last season.
But recently, Ojemudia's pushed his way back to not just making the 53-man roster, but competing for a starting job during training camp.
They always say, "Next man up." But what happens when you run out of next men? The Broncos might be at that point if their COVID-19 woes get any worse.
For the first time in two months, Bradley Chubb practiced.
But the Broncos didn't escape the Bye Week unscathed.
“It’s showing true concern and care for not only us as players, but us as human beings," Teddy Bridgewater said.
The Denver Broncos' initial 53-man roster is officially set.
Here's how the roster shakes out and what George Paton and Vic Fangio had to say about it.
By Tuesday afternoon, George Paton and Vic Fangio must narrow down the Broncos' roster from 80 players to the final 53.
Here's who is projected to make the final roster.
Drew Lock was electric to start Sunday's scrimmage.
Not only did he have the pass of training camp, he commanded two touchdown drives early.
Lock needed a strong day on Sunday. He delivered.
Teddy Bridgewater and Jerry Jeudy have only worked together for four practices. But you wouldn't have known it by the way they meshed Tuesday when the Broncos began the second week of Phase 3 of their 2021 organized team activities.
Before free agency, Surtain, Farley and Horn were the heavy favorites to be Denver's first pick in the draft.
After signing Darby and Fuller, Round 1 CB is no longer the leader in the clubhouse.
But don’t completely rule it out.
Michael Ojemudia's rookie season was anything but easygoing. But the third-round rookie was able to end the season on a high note and give the Broncos confidence in him moving forward.
On Tuesday, Fangio spoke to the media to wrap up the 2020 season and about finding the right replacement for Elway. Here's what we learned.
Past glories have never seemed farther away.
When the Broncos relegated Michael Ojemudia to a lesser role last month, Vic Fangio offered this advice to him: "Your opportunity is going to come faster than you think, so just be ready." It arrived in Kansas City, and in the last two games, Ojemudia has delivered.
