Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles did not practice Wednesday after suffering what the team initially described as an ankle injury in Week 1. Bolles is now listed on the injury report with a calf injury.
Bolles left Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Matt Peart. Broncos coach Sean Payton said Monday that Bolles suffered a “contusion,” but X-Rays and MRIs came back negative.
Bolles, 32, started all 17 games last season for the Broncos, but he missed 12 games in 2022, three games in 2021 and one game in 2020. Now in his eighth year in the NFL, Bolles is in the final year of his contract. DNP = did not participate.
