After missing all of the 2019 season with complications from foot surgery, Denver Broncos cornerback Bryce Callahan is healthy and ready for the 2020 season.
Callahan did have an illness before training camp started but he has since recovered and he’s had no drawbacks with his foot recovery.
“Bryce’s health is good,” Broncos coach Vic Fangio said during a Zoom conference call with reporters on Aug. 4. “A week or 10 days before we came back, he got sick — not COVID sick. He had a stomach virus and he lost some weight, so we have to get that back on him. His foot right now is fine, no problems.”
Denver brought in A.J. Bouye through a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason and selected Michael Ojemudia in the third round of the draft. Now that he’s healthy, Callahan is poised to serve as one of the Broncos’ top three cornerbacks, but his position is yet to be determined.
“We’re going to work him at both spots, playing corner and inside at nickel along with obviously a bunch of other people at both positions,” Fangio said. “We’ll see how it unfolds by the time we line up against Tennessee, but he’s going to work both spots.”
Denver will face the Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 1.
