On the final day of training camp open to fans, Broncos coach Sean Payton said quarterback Russell Wilson’s “last week-and-a-half, two weeks have been really impressive.”
Physically Unable to Perform list: OLB Baron Browning . Non-Football Injury list: DL Mike Purcell .: Safeties P.J. Locke , Justin Simmons and Caden Sterns; cornerbacks K’Waun Williams and Riley Moss ; running back Tyler Badie; wide receiver Brandon Johnson ; right tackle Mike McGlinchey and tight end Chris Manhertz.On a relatively light day work-load wise, maybe the top play of the day is more about a top performer over the past few weeks.
• Payton had high praise for Wilson after practice. “His movement skills have been impressive. His off-schedule plays. Every practice you see one or two. It really forces the receivers to get in concert. If you’re not open in the initial route progression and the pocket moves one way, you’ve got to move with it. His location’s been really good. I think the last week-and-a-half, two weeks have been really impressive.
• Of McLaughlin trying to make the team as an undrafted free agent, Payton said, “I just think there’s a lot of attrition on runners in our league. Over the years we’ve had kind of a ‘Joker’ player – Bush, Sproles, Kamara – those guys are running backs and yet they do some other things in the passing game that give them that tag. You can call it change-of-pace-type player. Certainly McLaughlin is one of those candidates. He’s a different style runner.
• For one of the first times on an open day, the Broncos had separate offensive and defensive walk-throughs early in practice against scout team looks rather than No. 1s against No. 1s, No. 2s against No. 2s, etc. • Payton said the second half of practice Denver started to do some prep work for their preseason game at San Francisco on Saturday night. They’ll have another day of prep for the 49ers before the charter flight late in the day Friday.
