The NFL has closed team facilities in an effort to slow down the spread of COVID-19, which has resulted in teams turning to virtual offseason programs. Broncos players will participate in virtual meetings and workouts with the team’s coaching staff during the virtual program.
Last week, Denver outside linebacker Von Miller shared a brief video of the team’s outside linebackers meeting on his Instagram page. The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala posted the video on Twitter:

The Broncos’ official Twitter account shared an image of an offensive meeting and another photo of quarterback Drew Lock talking with new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.

Shurmur joined Denver’s staff earlier this year and he will be installing his offense this summer. The early work of that installment will have to be done in a virtual setting.
The Broncos remain hopeful that training camp will be able to start on time in late July. The NFL is also hopeful that the season will start on time.
