Denver Broncos, Day 3
Digest more
The Broncos are enduring some massive hits already in NFL Training Camp. Now Alex Singleton is the latest to go down.
The Denver Broncos practiced in pads for the first time on Monday, and head coach Sean Payton is anxious to see what the new running back room looks like.
Denver Broncos starting inside linebacker Alex Singleton is expected to miss roughly the next week of training camp after suffering a broken thumb during Monday's practice, 9NEWS' Mike Klis reported.
Following Day 3 of training camp, team reporter Elisa Hernandez and lead writer Aric DiLalla react to the news of Courtland Sutton signing an extension. Plus, they discuss linebacker Dre Greenlaw and other key takeaways from practice.
The pads come on Monday, but Saturday featured a couple of really nice pass-rush moves from what should be a disruptive defensive front.
"Broncos LB Drew Sanders, an up-and-coming defender, suffered a tendon injury in his foot in practice that will keep him out an extended period of time, sources say post-MRI," Rapoport wrote on X. "Sanders is not expected back before the season begins and further testing will determine what's next."
In 11-on-11 action, Greenlaw flew toward the ball carrier to make stops and later chased another runner to the edge to allow Pat Surtain II to finish the play. In 7-on-7 work, Greenlaw came up to wrap up running back RJ Harvey after a short pass, and he provided physical, smothering coverage on another rep.
Broncos wide receiver A.T. Perry ( ankle) remains on the physically unable to perform list, and inside linebacker Drew Sanders (foot) is set to miss an " extended period " after suffering a tendon injury Saturday.
