The last two days, Tony Scheffler has been able to catch some of the action on the field, however, as you can see, his recovery from foot surgery is only beginning. The target for Scheffler’s return remains training camp.
Other injuries have dotted the Broncos throughout OTAs, particularly at wide receiver, where an already slim receiving corps that was without Brandon Stokley and Rod Smith lost Glenn Martinez on the first day of OTAs and Brandon Marshall earlier this week with hamstring and groin injuries, respectively.
Head Coach Mike Shanahan said Marshall’s injury is “not very serious.”
More notes from Friday …
… Quincy Morgan had the most acrobatic catch of the day. With tight coverage from Eric Hill blanketing him, Morgan tipped Patrick Ramsey’s pass about 10 feet in the air and reached up to grab it …
… Tip drills were the main course of the day. Dré Bly tipped a pass into John Lynch’s grasp during seven-on-seven drills, while later Domonique Foxworth took an interception “to the house” after a Patrick Ramsey pass skipped off Nate Jackson’s hands and into those of the third-year cornerback …
… And since OTAs are about mixing and matching players from various lines of the depth chart, this is the time for the Darrell Hackney-to-Javon Walker connection; it worked brilliantly for a deep connection midway through practice …
… Former Wisconsin safety Roderick Rogers showed some closing speed in his work with the cornerbacks, knocking away a deep pass for David Kircus during one-on-one work …
… And now, some pictures:
That’s all for today. OTAs resume on Tuesday; the players will hit the links Monday for Shanahan’s annual golf tournament.
And if you’re going to Fan Fair, I’ll be over on the East Club level between 1 and 3 p.m., willingly matching trivia wits. Stop by and say hello, or heckle … do what you will, just keep it clean.
