Overview
- Reporters at Broncos training camp said Bonitto limped during a 9-on-7 run drill on Tuesday and was helped off the field by two trainers before going to the locker room.
- Coach Sean Payton gave no medical details after practice and said there was 'no update' while adding that Bonitto 'will be fine,' leaving the situation classed as a developing scare.
- Bonitto is a key edge rusher for Denver, credited with 27.5 sacks since 2024 and recent All-Pro honors, so any absence would meaningfully reduce the team's pass-rush firepower.
- If Bonitto misses time, local coverage identifies Jonah Elliss as the likely next starter opposite Jonathon Cooper, which would test the Broncos' depth on the edge.
- The club had another starter, center Luke Wattenberg, leave practice the day before, so the immediate next steps to watch are the team's medical update after Payton's remarks and how coaches adjust reps in the remaining camp sessions.
