Broncos | Caleb Lohner to have cleanup procedure Sun Jun 7, 04:41 PM

Denver Broncos TE Caleb Lohner (lower body) is expected to miss the next two weeks of minicamp and organized team activities (OTAs) due to a routine lower-body cleanup procedure this offseason. He is expected to be ready in full for the start of training camp.

Broncos | Courtland Sutton not worried about role Sun Jun 7, 04:14 PM

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton said he is not worried about sharing targets with WR Jaylen Waddle. 'The targets will come,' Sutton said. 'I always say, the ball is going to find you no matter what, you just need to go out there and do your job.'

Footballguys view: Sutton will be the top red zone target in any scenario, and it is clear that Bo Nix has the best chemistry with Sutton of any of the returning Broncos receivers. Sutton is right that targets will come, especially in key game situations, because he has been so good at doing his job with Denver.

Broncos | Alex Palczewski not expected to start Sun Jun 7, 02:54 PM

Denver Broncos OT Alex Palczewski started 10 games at left guard in 2025 after OG Ben Powers (biceps) went on the reserve/injured list. However, Powers and the rest of the starting offensive linemen are back from last season, so Palczewski isn't in line now to start in 2026. However, he was regularly inserted for Denver's jumbo lineup when a sixth offensive lineman was used.

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle disguises routes well Sun Jun 7, 01:43 PM

Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle is fitting in with his new team, and drawing praise from the coaching staff and teammates for his quick starting and stopping, and for his route running. 'I think his ability to make every route look the same is pretty important,' S Talanoa Hufanga said. 'As a defender, when you can make a 10-yard stop look like a go, a 10-yard dig (route) look like a go, a 10-yard out-route -- it's just, everything looks the same. And it puts pressure on your backpedal, as a DB.'

Footballguys view: Waddle could be a focal point of the Broncos pass offense right away if he and Bo Nix are on the same page and the team is creative with their usage of their big offseason acquisition to push for a Super Bowl while Nix is on a rookie contract. Waddle could get off on the right foot in the season opener against Kansas City, which will likely be #6 pick Mansoor Delane's first NFL start.

Broncos | Bo Nix to have larger role during minicamp Sat Jun 6, 11:33 AM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) is expected to have an increased role during the team's three-day mandatory minicamp, which begins June 16, according to head coach Sean Payton. Nix did not participate in the team's first full week of organized team activities but had thrown in pre-practice sessions.

Footballguys view: There have been some misconceptions, a dash of mystery, and sometimes straight-up misinformation about Nix's ankle this offseason. The current plan, according to Payton, is to have Nix do more in mandatory minicamp in 10 days or so. Does that mean full participation? While that seems unlikely, we're not too worried about the young franchise quarterback. Once August gets here and the Broncos are in training camp, we expect Nix to be near full strength and fully participating.

Broncos | Jonah Elliss to remain at edge rusher Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM

Denver Broncos LB Jonah Elliss will not be moved from an edge rusher role to an inside linebacker spot on a regular basis because he is 'doing too well outside,' according to head coach Sean Payton. However, there may be a handful of defensive packages where Elliss will flex inside.

Broncos | Two players not practicing Thu Jun 4, 05:54 PM

Denver Broncos WR Michael Woods II (undisclosed) and TE Caleb Lohner (undisclosed) did not participate in the voluntary workout Thursday, June 4.

Broncos | Bo Nix not participating in OTAs Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was seen on the sideline at the team's OTAs on Thursday, June 4. Nix is working his way back from a broken ankle suffered in January.

Footballguys view: There are some who think we could see Nix out there at mandatory minicamp in just a couple of weeks. Nix injured his ankle in the Divisional Round win over the Bills, and he had to have a cleanup second surgery after it was initially repaired. So long as Nix is out there in training camp, the Broncos have no worries at the quarterback position. Nix with Jaylen Waddle could be quite fun for Broncos fans...and Fantasy GMs... in 2026.

Broncos | Two players worked out Wed Jun 3, 05:31 PM

Free-agent RB Marcus Yarns (Saints) and WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper (Cowboys) will be working out for the Denver Broncos.

Broncos | Patrick Surtain II gets raise from Denver Tue Jun 2, 03:59 PM

Denver Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II was given a $5 million raise this year by the team on Tuesday, June 2. He has a chance to make another $5 million next year if he makes All-Pro or Pro Bowl this year.

Broncos | Jonah Coleman may have early role Sat May 30, 05:32 PM

Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could be used as a receiver out of the backfield during his rookie season, in the opinion of BroncosWire's Jon Heath.

Footballguys view: Coleman is a threat to both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey's roles, and he could end up being as valuable as Harvey even though there is a 50+ pick gap in their ADPs. Coleman could also be the first man up if Dobbins goes down. This is a big camp for Harvey to prove he deserves a bigger opportunity to prove he was worth the second round pick the Broncos spent on him last year.

Broncos | Kage Casey inks rookie deal Wed May 20, 11:23 AM

Denver Broncos fourth-round pick OT Kage Casey signed his rookie four-year deal Wednesday, May 20. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Broncos | Jonah Coleman signs rookie deal Wed May 20, 10:50 AM

Denver Broncos fourth-round pick RB Jonah Coleman signed his rookie four-year deal Wednesday, May 20. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Footballguys view: While he starts his career in Denver behind veteran J.K. Dobbins and second-year man RJ Harvey, Coleman is a tough, physical runner with three-down capabilities due to his ability to catch passes and pass protect. He's an interesting prospect with an RB48 ADP that puts him in the same tier with Jacksonville's Chris Rodriguez Jr., the Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tennessee's Tyjae Spears, and Detroit's Isiah Pacheco.

Broncos | Denver did not sign Sean Brown Sat May 16, 03:01 PM

Undrafted free-agent WR Sean Brown (Charlotte) did not sign with the Denver Broncos after the 2026 NFL Draft because of a failed physical.

Broncos | Deuce Vaughn waived by Denver Tue May 12, 04:47 PM

Denver Broncos RB Deuce Vaughn was waived on Tuesday, May 12.

Footballguys view: Vaughn entered the league with the Dallas Cowboys as a sixth-round pick out of Kansas State in the 2023 NFL draft. He totaled 168 yards from scrimmage on 50 touches in 14 career games in Dallas before landing on Denver's practice squad last summer. He did not appear in any games last season.

Broncos | Denver adding Michael Woods Mon May 11, 01:42 PM

Free-agent WR Michael Woods II (Browns) agreed to terms with the Denver Broncos Monday, May 11, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Woods was a sixth-round pick by the Browns in 2022. He played 10 games as a rookie, but missed all of 2023 with a torn Achilles. He returned for five games in 2024 and finished his time in Cleveland with 12 catches for 110 yards. Woods spent time on the Packers' practice squad after being cut by the Browns last year. Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey are the other veteran wideouts in Denver.

Broncos | Jonah Coleman could vie for RB3 job Mon May 11, 12:05 AM

Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman might be in line for the No. 3 job behind RBs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. He was selected with the team's second pick, and he is tough, and Coleman can catch passes and pass protect, which should endear him to head coach Sean Payton.

Footballguys view: With Dobbins injured and unavailable down the stretch last year, Harvey was inefficient as the primary back. As a result, the Broncos entered the offseason looking to bolster the ground attack. That's precisely why they used their second pick on Coleman. Coleman is a tough, physical running back with three-down capabilities due to his ability to catch passes and pass protect. According to SI.com's Justin Melo, Sean Payton will immediately fall in love with his commitment and rugged approach.

Broncos | Bo Nix may do some offseason work Sun May 10, 06:36 PM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) will probably do some throwing during the June minicamp and should be fully healthy for training camp, according to head coach Sean Payton.

Footballguys view: Nix's injury might have been worse than originally let on, but as long as he is a full go at the open of camp, we won't change the outlook for him or the Denver offense this season.

Broncos | Bo Nix expected to be full speed in July Sun May 10, 05:36 PM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) might be on the field in some capacity during minicamp from June 16-18, and head coach Sean Payton said Nix should be full speed in July.

Broncos | George Paton agrees to extension with Denver Fri May 8, 01:09 PM

Denver Broncos general manager George Paton has reached an agreement with the Denver Broncos on a five-year extension on Friday, May 8.

Footballguys view: Paton has cemented himself as one of the best GMs in football. The Broncos are Super Bowl contenders now because of the talent that Paton has found the team - mostly through the draft but also in free agency. With a big trade for WR Jaylen Waddle this offseason, Broncos fans are excited about what this passing game could look like. Paton gets a lot of flowers for the work he's done meshing with Sean Payton as well.

Denver Broncos seventh-round pick S Miles Scott signed his rookie four-year deal Thursday, May 7. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Broncos | Justin Joly signs rookie deal Thu May 7, 10:25 AM

Denver Broncos fifth-round pick TE Justin Joly signed his rookie four-year deal Thursday, May 7. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Footballguys view: Joly has some move tight end skill, and he's going to be able to hone that skill set behind Evan Engram in 2026. With Davis Webb calling plays instead of Sean Payton this year, we think Engram has more of an impact than he did a year ago. His 50 catches for 461 yards and one touchdown were disappointing for Fantasy GMs, and Engram finished as the no.25 tight end in standard-scoring formats. Joly is not as athletic as Engram, but he's a slippery player the Broncos moved up for on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Broncos | Bo Nix on schedule after ankle check-in Wed Apr 29, 12:30 AM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix had a follow-up, cleanup procedure on his fractured right ankle last week. The 26-year-old broke it in the Broncos' divisional-round victory over Buffalo, and is 'firmly on track to be ready for the start of training camp,' according to the report.

Footballguys view: Nix fractured his right ankle near the end of the Broncos' divisional round playoff victory over the Bills. Before his Jan. 20 surgery, Nix called his injury a "simple fracture" that would require only a 4-6 week recovery. He did not mention a necessary follow-up procedure, and team owner Greg Penner said in March that the Broncos were confident Nix would participate in organized team activities as the quarterback was ahead of schedule in his rehab. Now, the timeline is training camp as the Broncos will be "conservative" with his participation in the offseason program. We'll be watching for more.
