Williams went down in a non-contact, punt-return drill

While attempting to scoop up the football in punt-return drills, Broncos receiver Kyle Williams went down awkwardly grasping his leg in the early part of the team's second day of training camp.

After being tended to by trainers for several minutes, Williams was carted off the field, crying with his hands covering his face.

Coach Gary Kubiak said Williams suffered an Achilles injury, which Williams later confirmed in an Instagram message, adding that he will miss the season as a result.

Lindsay Jones ‏@bylindsayhjones 2h

UPDATED SCHEDULE http://dbron.co/76d

Saw this at Rotoworld this morning. The source is 9 News Denver.

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/9831/juwan-thompson

Second-year RB Juwan Thompson is reportedly challenging for the Broncos' No. 2 running back job.

Thompson averaged 5.0 yards on 54 carries as an undrafted rookie out of Duke last season, scoring three touchdowns. He's reportedly putting heat on Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman behind C.J. Anderson. "Forty (Thompson's number) looked unbelievable today," coach Gary Kubiak said after Saturday's practice. "He's built for what we do." It's time to add Thompson in all Dynasty leagues and put him on the re-draft sleeper radar. Aug 1 - 9:48 PM

Uh oh. Slow down Brock express for moment. Curtis Marsh picks him off. Not sure if route was wrong though. Some chatter that way

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 1h1 hour ago

Intensity palpable as #broncos working in helmets/shoulder pads. Gotta believe there will be at least one fight today

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 1h1 hour ago

Best moment of camp: kids from the crowd running fade routes and catching passes from Manning & Osweiler.

Oops. Wolfe and Harris threw first punches

Kubiak: wished the team had finished practice better than it did today.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 24m24 minutes ago

Kubiak wants team to fix the issue of having more mistakes late than early.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 8m8 minutes ago

Manning will get every third/fourth day off. That would mean he's off Monday, but when asked, Kubiak smiled & wouldn't commit to that.

The play-action game is working well today. Not always getting completions downfield, but WRs are getting open down the seam.

WR Jordan Taylor (Rookie from Rice) having a good camp. Creating some buzz with his catching ability.

Mark Haas ‏@markhaastv 2h ago Dove Valley, CO

1st time I've watched OL/DL 1v1s and Ben Garland looks good today. Sambrailo split his matchups I saw. Vasquez solid.

I like that Kubiak isn't afraid to say that the end of practice wasn't good. He's putting everyone on notice. What was that slogan that we heard this year? Be accountable. Sounds good to me.

Osweiler gets opportunity to run first team

Brock Osweiler began acting like a starter in March. He gathered receivers for local workouts. He texted draft picks. He recognizes the critical juncture he has reached in his NFL career. He enters the the final year of his contract, and the Broncos need to know what they have in the quarterback from Arizona State. Is he part of the future? Or will he become a casualty like Ryan Mallett last summer in New England?

Osweiler remains ready to prove himself, a process which picks up in earnest on Monday as he runs with the starters.

"I think it's important he walks out the lockerroom and it's his team for the day. Peyton (Manning) needs his break. I think those will be big days for (Osweiler)," Kubiak said. "He's improving. I want his feet to continue to improve. If his feet improve, he'll be a better player. It's something I am staying on him about. Yes, those leadership days are coming."

In theory, Osweiler fits Kubiak's roll-out, play-action offense better than the audible-heavy Adam Gase attack. But he must perform well to build off the momentum gained in offseason workouts.

rest - stuff on other players
