After two hip surgeries and many months of recovery, Denver Broncos center Matt Paradis has been cleared for football activities just in time for camp.
The Denver Broncos have been working on building their offensive line. One of the key members of that line has been dealing with offseason surgery on his hips. Now Matt Paradis will be ready to go when training camp starts in three weeks.
According to Mike Klis over at 9 News, the center has finally recovered from his surgeries that he got done on his hips during the offseason. Paradis was the bright spot on a very weak Denver Broncos offensive line last season. In fact, he was in the top of the center rankings all season long.
While the tackles and guards struggled for the Broncos offensive line, Matt Paradis was in a groove for the majority of the season. However, his stellar performance was overshadowed by the line’s inconsistencies.
With the return of Matt Paradis, the Denver Broncos will look to get him up and going once training camp begins on July 27th. With Paradis on the line, I foresee the Broncos offensive line getting a much needed boost.
As Paradis was recovering from his two hip surgeries, Connor McGovern took reps at center. It is nice to know that if anything does happen to Paradis, the team will be ready.
It is very important for the offensive line to be solid this season. Without an offensive line, the running game could not get going. Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch found themselves pressured a lot. Having Matt Paradis back is a blessing for this offensive line.

With upgrades on three of the four positions, including both tackles, the Denver Broncos offensive line will look to improve.
It is great to see Matt Paradis is back to resuming football activities. Hopefully it is the start of something new for the offensive line.
