The Injury: Broken bone in right ankle suffered on Jan. 17, leading to immediate surgery as well as a follow-up clean-up procedure in the spring.
The Latest: When asked during OTAs if he will be ready for training camp, the third-year former first-round pick said he “could be a full go right now if I wanted to.”
Why It Matters: The Broncos are updating the offense with new coordinator Davis Webb, and the margin for error is expected to be small in that division. As mentioned, they play a critical season opener in Kansas City, but beyond that the first six games are a potential nightmare that takes them from K.C. to matchups with the Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Chargers and then Seahawks. It’ll be a baptism by fire.
