The Denver Broncos got mixed news on the injury front on Monday.
First, the good news: After sitting out practice on Friday and Saturday, Broncos outside linebacker Drew Sanders (undisclosed) and rookie wide receiver Joseph Manjack (back) returned to practice on Monday following the team's day off on Sunday.
Now, the concerning news: Denver center Luke Wattenberg "went down hard" during a one-on-one drill and did not return. Alex Forsyth filled in at center after Wattenberg left practice. When asked about Wattenberg after practice, coach Sean Payton said the team will evaluate him, but he thinks "he'll be fine." Hopefully that's a good sign for the team's starting center.
Elsewhere on the injury front, Broncos outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman worked on a side field with a wrap on his leg and tight end Caleb Lohner (knee) also remains sidelined. Lohner, who was already on the roster bubble going into training camp, will likely need to get back on the field sooner rather than later if he's going to have a good chance of making the squad this summer.
Denver also has two players on injury lists: offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo (knee) on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and linebacker Jordan Turner (unknown) on the non-football injury (NFI) list.
