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.
Exactly four weeks out from the start of their season, the Denver Broncos received a plethora of positive news along the injury front.

But Russell Wilson and Kendall Hinton were able to do just enough to get points and win the day.
Russell Wilson led a game-winning touchdown drive to cap off Thursday’s practice, including a 35-yard completion on 4th-and-4.

But just once.
Despite an overcast day on Thursday at the UCHealth Training Center, the Denver Broncos’ stars shined through.
Denver’s defense clearly had enough of Russell Wilson and Nathaniel Hackett being the storylines of camp.
The defense came out of the gate with their hair on fire at all three levels during the first practice of camp.
But Russ did fight back at the end of practice.
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.
“We have, like, a little period where we go and do walk-throughs in the gym, in the back room, and he was in there watching. He didn’t have to be there,” CB Ronald Darby said.
