Broncos training camp scheduled to start soon

Broncos rookies are scheduled to report for training camp this week.

Last week, the Colorado Department of Health approved the Denver Broncos’ plan for training camp, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

That happened two days before the NFL announced that training camps are on track to start on time this month. The league announced that rookies can report as early as Tuesday, July 21, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The NFL also announced that quarterbacks and injured players can report on Thursday, July 23. Denver will have rookies, quarterbacks and players recovering from injuries all report on Thursday, according to Klis.

So quarterback Drew Lock is set to report to the team’s facility this week, as is cornerback Bryce Callahan and outside linebacker Brady Chubb, among others. The team’s veterans are scheduled to report to camp on Tuesday, July 28.

Pelissero reported on Saturday that only 20 players will be allowed in a team’s facility at a time “until the NFLPA signs off on infectious disease emergency response plans” for each team. That might happen in the coming days.

Broncos changed training camp report date for rookies

The Broncos moved their training camp report date for rookies.

Denver Broncos rookies were originally scheduled to report for training camp on Tuesday, July 21. The team has changed that schedule.

Denver’s rookies are now expected to report for camp on Thursday, July 23, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Broncos veterans are scheduled to report to the team’s facility on Tuesday, July 28.

Denver won’t have fans at training camp practices this summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Broncos might not have any preseason games, either. The NFLPA wants longer training camps with no preseason games to give players more time to get in shape for the regular season.

While preseason’s status is in jeopardy, the NFL is still planning to have the regular season start on time. Denver’s first game is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 14 against the Tennessee Titans. That Monday Night Football contest will be nationally televised on ESPN beginning at 8:15 p.m. MT. To view the Broncos’ complete 2020 schedule, click here.
