Dobbins' quick return to work after leaving Monday's practice with a trainer signals that his issue was minor, though it remains to be seen if he'll see action in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons. As the coming campaign approaches, Dobbins is slated to reprise his key role in a Denver backfield that also includes 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey and rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman. The key for Dobbins in terms of his fantasy utlity is staying healthy, giving his injury history. Moreover, Harvey will no doubt see his share of touches, with Coleman also a candidate to mix in, even if Dobbins heads into Week 1 as the team's de facto starter.

Per Stevens, Waddle was present for the session, but the wideout once again didn't work in the team's drills. Waddle remains day-to-day ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons, but given that he hasn't practiced since last Wednesday, it's increasingly likely he'll be sidelined for that contest.

Through two NFL seasons, Nix has mostly provided value via sack avoidance, scrambling and short-area accuracy. His 36.9 percent completion rate on passes 20-plus yards downfield last season ranked near the bottom of the league, but he also dealt with a number of drops on those throws from his receivers. The Broncos think he has another level to unlock, with new wideout Jaylen Waddle being a big part of that plan.

Wattenberg suffered an injury during last Monday's training camp session. The center's ability to return to the field, even in a limited capacity, is a good sign that the undisclosed issue isn't severe. There is a strong chance Wattenberg will be fully healthy and ready for the start of the regular season.

Turner was placed on the NFI list in late July with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he's now back in football shape ahead of Friday's preseason opener at Atlanta. The vast majority of his snaps with Denver in 2025 came on special teams.

Adkins left practice with a trainer Friday after presumably suffering some type of injury, but it looks like it wasn't anything too serious. He'll continue to compete with the likes of rookie fifth-rounder Justin Joly and Lucas Krull for a depth role at tight end during the upcoming campaign.

Harvey notched three rushes of over 20 yards in his rookie campaign, two of which were 40-plus yard gains, but he expects more frequent such plays in his second year. The running back believes that big plays are his calling card as an athlete, saying that he feels like that's "his game." Harvey compiled 540 yards and seven touchdowns on 146 carries while also reeling in 47 of 58 targets for 356 yards and five scores over 17 regular-season contests in 2025. The 25-year-old is expected to operate in a timeshare with J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) again this season, but the oft-injured Dobbins is already dealing with a soft-tissue injury at training camp. If Dobbins is unable to put together a healthy campaign, Harvey would have the opportunity to take command of Denver's backfield for years to come.

Per Gabriel, Mims, who left Friday's practice with an apparent injury and then didn't work Saturday, was present in pads for Monday's session, but it looks like the wideout is being eased back into the mix. Mims thus falls in the day-to-day category as Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons approaches.

Nix singled out Engram's willingness to work on his blocking this summer and said the veteran tight end is "doing well" in that area of his game, and it could lead to Engram playing more snaps and getting more involved in the play-action passing offense. Engram signed a two-year, $23 million deal with the Broncos ahead of the 2025 season but went on to play a career-low 42 percent of the offensive snaps across 16 regular-season games. It led to Engram catching just 50 of 76 targets for 461 yards and one touchdown in those contests. His 28.8 yards per game average was the second-lowest in his nine-year career. If Engram can earn coach Sean Payton's trust as a blocker, it could certainly help boost his playing time and receiving production.

The move comes after Henningsen tore his Achilles during Friday's training camp practice, marking the second consecutive year in which he's suffered that particular injury. He'll focus on his rehab and recovery to be available for the 2027 season, though he'll enter that offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Rowan has been in and out of Denver's facilities since going undrafted out of Utah State in 2025, and this will be his third time joining the team as a free agent. He'll need to make a big impression during training camp to have any chance at making the 53-man roster for 2026.

Just a few days after getting cut by Seattle, Duplessis is already getting another chance with a new club. The signing comes after free-agent acquisition Jaylen Waddle left Wednesday's training camp practice with muscle tightness, so Duplessis will likely be expected to pick up some of the slack until Waddle is back.

Bonitto left Tuesday's session with an apparent leg injury, and it was initially unclear when the star edge rusher would be ready to return. Considering his participation Thursday, it's now evident Bonitto was only dealing with a minor injury.

On Wednesday, coach Sean Payton indicated that Sutton would practice Thursday, and while the wideout was out there, as expected, he didn't appear to be working fully. With no injury having been reported thus far, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post suggests that this could simply be a load management week for Sutton, with added context regarding his status set to arrive during the Broncos' next practice.

Peart is now fully recovered from the knee injury that landed him on the Broncos' injured reserve last October. The 28-year-old will likely serve as the team's backup left tackle behind Garett Bolles during the upcoming season.

Forsyth sat out the Broncos' AFC Championship loss to the Patriots last season due to an ankle injury but is now healthy again. He is expected to serve as the team's backup center behind Luke Wattenberg during the upcoming campaign.

Jones ended the 2025 season on IR after suffering a pectoral injury in December that required surgery to address, but he's now back in action with training camp underway. He projects to start at safety next to Talanoa Hufanga again in 2026.

When asked Wednesday about pleasant surprises at camp, Payton began his answer with Coleman's name. The coach even said that Coleman "doesn't feel like a rookie," per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News. Then again, Payton has also made glowing comments about RB J.K. Dobbins and half of the wide receivers on the camp roster. A rookie fourth-round pick, Coleman is perhaps making his case to force a three-way backfield split with Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

Bryant was a third-round selection of the Broncos in the 2025 NFL Draft and saw his snap count and offensive output steadily increase over the course of his rookie season. Denver added to its wide receiver depth by trading for Jaylen Waddle to form a one-two punch with Courtland Sutton, but so far in training camp, Bryant has been making his case for slotting behind the top duo, along with fellow WRs Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims. If his strong training camp continues, Bryant would be in line for a larger share of offensive snaps in 2026 than he logged last year (48 percent).

The wide receiver had to miss practice Saturday due to a back issue that was not seen as severe. Now that he has returned, the undrafted free-agent signing will have to work to make the team in a wide-receiver room led by Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle.

Lohner underwent a procedure in early June to fix a lower-body issue, and it remains unclear how his recovery has progressed. The tight end was fighting for a roster spot as it is, and if he is unable to return to the field in a timely fashion, he will likely end up on the outside looking in come cutdown day.

Sanders was unable to play at all last season after tearing a ligament in his foot in July 2025, but he's now available again with training camp underway. He played the majority of his snaps on special teams in his first two seasons.

The offensive guard was placed on the active/PUP list to kick off training camp Sunday, but the team expects to have to move him to the reserve/PUP list once the regular season rolls around, per Tomasson. If he does move to the reserve/PUP list on or after cut-down day, Gargiulo will have to miss the first four regular-season games. The 2024 seventh-round pick tore his ACL during an August 2025 preseason game.

McLaughlin re-signed with Denver this offseason, but with all of J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and rookie Jonah Coleman seemingly above him on the running back depth chart, the 25-year-old looks set to battle for depth duties with Badie, McLaughlin still offers change-of-pace abilities and rushing upside (career 4.8 YPC), but Badie's pass-protection skills and special-teams value could make for a tough camp competition. Even if McLaughlin wins the No. 4 spot, he lacks a clear path to touches on offense.

When announcing the surgery on his Instagram account in February, Skinner said that he played with the torn labrum the "whole season." The 2023 sixth-round draft selection logged most of his playing time on kick coverage last year, playing 34 defensive snaps and 322 special-teams snaps and tallying 12 tackles (eight solo) along with a recovered fumble over 17 regular-season games. Skinner is slated to again work as a core special teamer and rotational safety during the upcoming campaign if he makes the 53-man roster.

Nelson was waived with an injury designation Monday, and he's since been moved to injured reserve after not being picked up by another team. He'll be required to sit for the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Atlanta.

Muse will join the Falcons two days after being released from the Lions' 90-man roster. The 2022 seventh-rounder will join the Falcons for training camp and have the opportunity to audition for a spot on the 53-man roster or practice squad for the start of the 2026 season. Muse last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Vikings, when he totalled 64 snaps (17 on offense, 47 on special teams) across four games.

Taylor has spent training camp on the active/PUP list due to an elbow injury he suffered on Thanksgiving Day against the Cowboys while with the Chiefs. Taylor is back as a full participant in practice and is expected to start at right tackle for the Falcons in 2026.

After suffering a partially torn ACL in his left knee Week 11 of last season, Penix required a full reconstruction to repair the damage. In the offseason, the Falcons signed Tua Tagovailoa to provide competition in the QB room. Penix has yet to progress beyond 7-on-7s, but among his throws Monday was a 25-yarder to TE Kyle Pitts down the right sideline that he fit into a tight window. Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, coach Kevin Stefanski expects to announce by Wednesday who among Atlanta's quarterbacks — also, Cooper Rush and Jack Strand — will play in Friday's preseason game against the Broncos, but considering where Penix stands at the moment, he'll likely be in street clothes for that contest.

Sermon spent the 2025 campaign bouncing between Pittsburgh's practice squad and active roster, but he's now getting another opportunity with a new team. He'll be competing with the likes of Nathan Carter and rookie undrafted free agent Cash Jones for a depth role in Atlanta's backfield in 2026.

Sample was waived by the 49ers on Wednesday with a knee issue. The signing means the linebacker passed his physical and should be good to go for the preseason. Sample should slot in as a third-string option at outside linebacker, right on the edge of a potential 53-man roster spot.

Bates suffered a minor back issue at some point in training camp and has been practicing in a limited capacity. The safety has been gradually working his way up to full participation and should be back soon. As Bates continues his recovery, other defensive backs such as Jammie Robinson have seen more snaps with the first-team defense.

Deablo left practice Saturday with an ankle injury, but Stefanski indicated little concern about his availability going forward, per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site. The 27-year-old was given the green dot this offseason, setting him up for more responsibility on Atlanta's defense. Deablo played his first season with the Falcons in 2025 after spending his first four in Las Vegas, and he totaled 73 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, as well as seven pass deflections over 13 regular-season games.

Tagovailoa seemingly is the leader in the clubhouse to land the gig for the season opener over Michael Penix, who has yet to join in on team drills in training camp due to his ongoing recovery from the torn ACL that ended his season Week 11 last year. While Stefanski wouldn't commit to a Week 1 starter, he added that he'll make a decision on whether or not Tagovailoa will play in Friday's preseason opener against the Broncos by Wednesday.

The move comes after Harrison passed his physical Friday, putting him on track to participate in Saturday's training camp practice. The 2023 third-rounder was limited to seven regular-season games last year due to a knee injury and ended the 2025 campaign on injured reserve. Harrison is expected to start opposite Brandon Dorlus at defensive end, with Chris Williams and LaCale London working in rotation.

Wilkerson did not play last regular season after missing the cut for the Bills' 53-man roster, but he's now getting another chance with a new squad. Behind Drake London, Atlanta has one of the thinnest receiving corps in the league going into 2026.

Walker was carted off the field at the end of Tuesday's practice, and he was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee a day later, thereby putting an end to his second campaign. He made an impact as a 2025 first-round pick last year, totaling 36 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass defense in 15 regular-season games. The likes of Cameron Thomas, Samson Ebukam and Azeez Ojulari are poised for more pass-rush reps alongside starter James Pearce this season.

Malone was initially placed on the active/PUP list this past Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury. Now that he's on the reserve/PUP, Malone will be required to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Falcons. He appeared in nine regular-season games for Atlanta last year and finished with eight tackles (two solo) and one interception.

Robinson's three-year pact includes $51 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. With a new deal in place, Robinson, who hadn't been participating in training camp practices, is slated to rejoin his teammates on the field. With Robinson's contract situation settled, attention now turns to fellow elite fantasy back Jahmyr Gibbs, who has been a training camp hold-in as he seeks an extension with the Lions.

Bergeron is set to make $60 million in guaranteed money, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The left guard has started 49 regular-season games of a potential 51, and has been a model of consistency and production for the Falcons since being drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Bergeron is now locked up through 2030.

Dotson has featured with the starters consistently, working alongside Drake London while Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch rotate in. In the process, McFadden notes that Dotson had a nice gain on a crossing route early in the full-team period of Thursday's practice. The 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has recorded 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns through four NFL regular seasons split between Washington and Philadelphia, with seven of those scores coming in Dotson's rookie campaign.

Atlanta quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (back) and Michael Penix (knee) have been limited early on, while London seems to be back at full strength after missing some spring practices with an undisclosed injury. The star wideout can now focus on building chemistry with Tagovailoa, who figures to take most of the first-team reps this summer.

Levin is healthy again after previously dealing with a biceps injury. The 31-year-old signed with the Falcons back in March and is expected to serve as the team's backup center behind Ryan Neuzil during the upcoming campaign.

Bryant joined the Falcons as an undrafted free agent in July of 2025 and spent the first half of last season on the practice squad before signing to the active roster in November. He entered the league's concussion protocol during the Falcons' Week 18 clash against the Saints and finished the regular season with 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defense across seven games. Bryant is fully healthy for the start of training camp, and given the depth in the Falcons' secondary, his clearest path to cracking the 53-man roster figures to be as a regular contributor on special teams.

Bowman continues to progress in his recovery from a torn Achilles that he suffered this past November, and he'll be eligible to participate in training camp practices once he's fully healthy. Bowman was a fourth-round selection of the Falcons in the 2025 NFL Draft and logged 26 tackles (15 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across six regular-season games prior to his Achilles injury.

Hughes ended the 2025 season on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The cornerback spent the offseason rehabbing the issue and is all set to return to the field for the 2026 season. He will rejoin a Falcons secondary consisting of A.J. Terrell, Jessie Bates, Xavier Watts (undisclosed) and Billy Bowman (Achilles), ready to assist the team in its attempt to take the NFC South title from the Panthers.

Rush lands with the Falcons to open training camp, giving the team another option at quarterback with both Tua Tagovailoa (back tightness) and Michael Penix (ACL) currently managing injuries. Tagovailoa is expected to return next week, but in the meantime, Rush and undrafted rookie Jack Strand will handle a substantial amount of reps at practice.

Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, an injury prevented Thompson from participating in offseason activities, though the nature and severity of the issue is unclear. Once fully healthy, the rookie sixth-rounder will be eligible to participate in practices.

After stints in Philadelphia, Washington and Chicago, Zaccheaus opted to sign a one-year contract in March to rejoin the Falcons, with whom he previously played from 2019-22. The Virginia product has eclipsed 500 receiving yards just once in his NFL career, but given Atlanta's lack of reliable pass catchers behind London and tight end Kyle Pitts, Zaccheaus could establish himself as a consistent target for whoever is under center between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix (knee). Dotson brings four years of NFL experience to the table and little more production than Zaccheaus, but the journeyman's biggest competition figures to come from the rookie Branch, who made a strong impression on coaches with his speed, explosiveness and playmaking ability during college and in OTAs.

Carter handled a depth role last season, gaining 60 yards on nine carries across seven regular-season appearances while also playing 49 snaps on special teams. Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson are locked into the top two backfield roles, so Carter's path to the roster likely depends on how much special-teams value he's able to provide. Even if he wins the No. 3 job, Carter won't have a path to fantasy relevance as long as Atlanta's top two running backs remain healthy.
