Following three straight days of full pads, the Denver Broncos had a lighter practice on Thursday, Day 6 of training camp. Among the players working on a side field was wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who was given veteran rest days on Tuesday and Wednesday. Denver coach Sean Payton was asked about Sutton's status following Thursday's session.
"Rest," Payton said. "He got some walk-through. Tomorrow, he'll be back. Just our protocol." Sutton also spoke after practice and confirmed that he's healthy. The team wants to keep him fresh for a long season that they want to last into February.
Sutton, who will turn 31 in October, has drawn 259 targets through quarterback Bo Nix's first two seasons in the NFL. Sutton hasn't had that level of workload since drawing 208 targets through his first two seasons (2018-2019).
Here are five other quick takeaways from Thursday's session.
1. Broncos injury report: Denver WR Jaylen Waddle (muscle tightness), OLB Nik Bonitto (undisclosed), C Luke Wattenberg (undisclosed), CB Jaden Robinson (undisclosed) and OLB Dasan McCullough (undisclosed) all worked on a side field for recovering players. Meanwhile, tight endCaleb Lohner (knee) remains sidelined. Lohner's chances of making the 53-man roster are probably decreasing with every practice he misses.
