3 players the Denver Broncos must be extremely cautious with at camp

The Denver Broncos have a handful of players they need to be extremely cautious with at training camp so they are available when games matter.

The Denver Broncos will be underway with training camp less than a week from now.

With camp on the horizon, football season is nearly upon us. One of the keys to being the best team in January and February?

Staying as healthy as possible.

The Denver Broncos have a number of players coming off of injury and players who will need to be essentially bubble-wrapped during training camp.

Which players should the Broncos be treating with the utmost caution and delicate care?

Let’s take a look at the top three.

Denver Broncos player no. 1: Randy Gregory, EDGE

The Denver Broncos signed Randy Gregory to a five-year, $70 million contract in free agency, and at this point, we have yet to see him don his no. 5 jersey in orange and blue.

And that’s quite alright at this point.

The Broncos signed Gregory away from the Dallas Cowboys and agreed that Gregory should have the procedure in March so he would have the best shot at playing the 2022 season without any discomfort.

According to Mike Klis, Gregory is fully “healed” from the shoulder procedure but now needs to get back to full strength.

I’m not going to sit here and say we should have the same peace of mind for Randy Gregory as we would for someone like Von Miller, but Gregory is an NFL veteran. He’s 29 years old. He’s proven.

Does he really need training camp reps and preseason reps?

I think to a degree, pretty much every player needs some reps to get their feet wet and get ready for the season, but if the choice is to have a fully healthy Randy Gregory for Week 1 or risk him getting injured in a preseason game, the decision is easy.
