NFL Training Is Making Teams Realize Rick of injury.

Fangio was asked, one by one, about the growing list of players being held out of practice due to “soft tissue” injuries such as hamstring, calf, thigh or groin muscle strains or pulls.

The Broncos’ injury plight has been mirrored by other teams in the league as training camps opened without any on-field work this offseason due to COVID-19 restrictions and protocols.

Teams do not issue formal injury reports during training camp, so exact injury numbers are unknown this summer.

The Broncos had 11 players held out of one practice this past week with several of those players — wide receivers KJ Hamler, Tim Patrick and Juwann Winfree, linebacker Todd Davis, cornerbacks De’Vante Bausby and Michael Ojemudia and Purcell — on the sideline with hamstring, groin or calf injuries.
