Vance Joseph on Paxton Lynch "We didn't miss on his talent. He was a 1st round pick for a reason" @1043TheFan #Broncos

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 26m26 minutes ago

Vance Joseph tells @AndyKOASports & @Tyler_Polumbus that he will split the team onto two fields at times to get more reps for Siemian/Lynch.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 25m25 minutes ago

Vance Joseph tells Orange and Blue 760 that Devontae Booker will have surgery Friday and be out for about six weeks.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 24m24 minutes ago

Joseph said Booker could play w/ the wrist, but fixing it is long-term, "quality-of-life" issue. Should still be ready for reg. season.

#Broncos Matt Paradis, limited this week, out here doing work. Great sign for line. New dude Barbre wearing No. 73 @DenverChannel

Early drills and Jamaal Charles moving swiftly, cutting cleanly #Broncos @1043TheFan

Cecil Lammey‏Verified account @CecilLammey 30m30 minutes ago

Juwan Thompson looks slimmer. Has a chance to impress as a RB with Booker banged up #Broncos @1043TheFan

Cecil Lammey‏Verified account @CecilLammey 28m28 minutes ago

DeAngelo Henderson catching cleanly. Looks passes into his hands. Burst after the catch #Broncos @1043TheFan

Troy Renck‏Verified account @TroyRenck 27m27 minutes ago

#Broncos RB crew going through drills. I continued to be impressed w how far along Charles is @DenverChannel

Cecil Lammey‏Verified account @CecilLammey 26m26 minutes ago

Paxton throwing with a lot of heat. You can tell he's amped up. #Broncos #TheDecision @1043TheFan

Cecil Lammey‏Verified account @CecilLammey 23m23 minutes ago

Kalif Raymond out here catching passes at #BroncosCamp #Broncos - he's behind after missing offseason with finger injury @1043TheFan

Cecil Lammey‏Verified account @CecilLammey 20m20 minutes ago

Early drills Trevor goes to pass first but Paxton passes get there faster. Fun watching them side by side #Broncos #TheDecision @1043TheFan

Cecil Lammey‏Verified account @CecilLammey 11m11 minutes ago

Paxton playing with a lot of energy, but has had a couple passes too high both short and long. #Broncos @1043TheFan #TheDecision

#Broncos Shane Ray was off to side stretching w trainer for a moment. Helmet back on now and appears fine @DenverChannel

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 2m2 minutes ago

First team period under way. Garett Bolles gets first look at LT. He is splitting first-team LT reps with Ty Sambrailo as camp opens.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver now4 seconds ago

Quick tempo for the offense during this opening team period. Quick huddles, quick snaps. Keeping the practice moving.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 4m4 minutes ago

With Booker out, Juwan Thompson was the next RB up behind C.J. Anderson. Looks like they'll gradually ease Charles in over coming days.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 3m3 minutes ago

First INT of the day -- Marcus Rios with the pick of a Kyle Sloter pass that Isaiah McKenzie bobbled and couldn't bring in.

Oh yea, my favorite time of the year!

Troy Renck‏Verified account @TroyRenck 2m2 minutes ago

Bc will get asked, Chad Kelly watching practice. Not in uniform. @DenverChannel

Steven Kriz‏ @skrizPO 3m3 minutes ago

Lynch appears to have settled down. Dropping some dimes in 7 on 7. #Broncos

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 29s30 seconds ago

Really like what Ken Ekanem did vs. Sambrailo in 1-on-1 -- nice job going outside, but not too wide. Then in rematch, beat Sambrailo inside.

Legwold on ESPN's site:

Rookie defensive end DeMarcus Walker just walked off field to Broncos locker room with a trainer. He wasn't limping, but will check with coach Vance Joseph after practice. Walker said he trained at altitude for two weeks before camp opened

Oh great - camp is 5 minutes old and Sambrailo is already getting dusted at LT.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 4m4 minutes ago

Sloter with nice work in the 7-on-7, hitting De'Angelo Henderson for a diving TD catch. Best play of that period for the offense.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 1m1 minute ago

Sambrailo up at LT this period with the 1s. Again, as Joseph said yesterday, Sambrailo/Bolles splitting work.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver now5 seconds ago

Von Miller off the right edge just blew up a play -- forced an errant Siemian throw, ball popped up, Anderson still managed to catch it.

I have to imagine that Bolles is starting there opening day, but I don't mind them splitting time now. Gotta know what we're working with.

No argument - but all evidence points to Sambrailo being terrible at football is my point.

But he bulked up this year! He looks better than ever! Haven't you heard?

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 6m6 minutes ago

Nice pass -- Lynch to Anderson, wheel route, back of the end zone -- well placed, and they celebrate with a jump near the goal line.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 3m3 minutes ago

Nice catch by Anthony Nash -- Chris Lewis-Harris with aggressive coverage, Nash got free to grab the TD pass from Kyle Sloter.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 32s32 seconds ago

Nice cutback by C.J. Anderson -- reads the hole well, turned upfield, touchdown in a goal-to-go drill.

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver now8 seconds ago

Von Miller blows it up again -- off the edge, gets to Lynch, would have likely been a sack under game conditions.
