Overview
- Dre Greenlaw exited Thursday’s one-on-one coverage drill against J.K. Dobbins after pulling up with tightness in his leg and did not return to practice
- Sean Payton described the issue as a minor flare-up and indicated that Greenlaw is expected to recover quickly pending the results of precautionary tests
- The former 49ers linebacker signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract in March to anchor Denver’s defense following an Achilles tear in Super Bowl LVIII
- Denver has managed Greenlaw’s workload with a pitch count after he missed time this spring with a quadriceps concern
- The Broncos’ inside-linebacker depth is further strained by injuries to Alex Singleton and Drew Sanders, leaving the unit thin during camp
