The Denver Broncos are not expected to hold a minicamp this summer due to COVID-19 but the team is still expected to start training camp on time.
The Broncos — and 29 other teams — are expected to have their players report for training camp on July 28. Under terms of the league’s new collective bargaining agreement with players, teams will report to camp 47 or 48 days before the start of the regular season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The two teams that won’t report on July 28 — the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans — will report on July 25, which is 47 days ahead of their season-opening clash on Thursday, Sept. 10. The rest of the league will play their first games on Sunday, Sept. 13 or Monday, Sept. 14.
Denver will host the Tennesee Titans on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1, which means Broncos players will be reporting to camp 48 days before their first game. The NFL has not yet said if fans will be permitted to attend training camp practices but it seems likely that teams will practice behind closed doors this summer.
