The Denver Broncos signed outside linebacker Randy Gregory to a five-year, $70 million contract in March. Not long after the deal became official, Gregory underwent a shoulder procedure that sidelined him for all of the team’s on-field work in the spring.
The Broncos knew about the injury when they signed Gregory and they were in agreement with the outside linebacker on the decision to have the procedure. That’s seemingly a sign that Denver’s not concerned about the severity of the injury and recovery.
The Broncos are going to play it safe, though, with Gregory beginning training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Denver won’t rush him back, but the team does hope Gregory will be ready for their season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 12.
