The Denver Broncos’ in-person organized team activities were canceled this spring due to COVID-19 and replaced by a virtual offseason program. The team’s scheduled June minicamp has now been canceled as well.
“The NFL has notified teams the virtual period for offseason work will be extended through June 26, but there will be no in-person minicamps this month, per sources,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero tweeted on Thursday. “Expected, and now official.”
For teams that have wrapped up their virtual offseason programs, players will now have off for the summer until reporting back for the start of training camp in late July. As of now, the Broncos are still expected to have players report for training camp on time on Tuesday, July 28.
Because of the coronavirus, Denver players have not yet gotten any on-field work in with the Broncos’ coaching staff this offseason. Thanks to quarterback Drew Lock, the players have had multiple unofficial practices at a Denver-area park.
Those practices should help players have less catching up to do when the team reports to the UCHealth Training Center for camp next month.
