Denver Broncos wide receiver and training camp updates

Overview

In early August 2026, the Denver Broncos faced uncertainty at wide receiver after veteran Courtland Sutton and recent acquisition Jaylen Waddle missed training camp practice due to injury concerns. Sutton was seen on the field without equipment, while Waddle left early reporting “muscle tightness.” To address depth, the Broncos signed undrafted receivers Kyrese Rowan and Kyre Duplessis. These roster moves occurred alongside other injuries, including cornerback Jaden Robinson being placed on waivers with an injury designation and defensive lineman Matt Henningsen suffering an Achilles injury. By August 8, head coach Sean Payton clarified that Waddle was managing a “strain,” estimating a return within four to five days. While Sutton cleared his status, noting he was being rested, new concerns emerged regarding Marvin Mims Jr., who was observed limping during practice. By August 17, Jaylen Waddle returned to practice after being sidelined for nearly two weeks. Head coach Sean Payton indicated the team is being cautious, though Waddle participated in team drills without appearing limited. Other players, such as starting center Luke Wattenberg and Alex Forsyth, also returned to practice. However, Mims Jr. remains sidelined, having moved to a side rehab field. Training camp intensity peaked during a Day 13 practice featuring multiple skirmishes. A major confrontation occurred between quarterback Bo Nix and edge rusher Nik Bonitto after Nix was knocked down, a melee that also involved Alex Singleton and resulted in reserve offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton leaving the field with facial injuries. Meanwhile, linebacker Levelle Bailey remains uncertain for the season following a broken leg sustained during the preseason opener. On the final day of training camp, Jaylen Waddle recorded a 60-yard touchdown on a pass from Bo Nix.
