They also a familiar face visiting today’s practice. Former Broncos great Head Coach Mike Shanahan visited the facility, met with everyone, and watched today’s practice.Today we have the Broncos defense continuing to dominate, rookie wide receiver Juwann Winfree is turning some heads, more rotation at the inside linebacker position, Noah Fant shows up in the red zone, tight end Austin Fort is a name to watch, an injury report, news and notes and more!Disclaimer: I was not at camp and this is just a collection of news and notes from other sources with my thoughts and opinions sprinkled in.Defense continues to dominateThe Denver Broncos has dominated every practice thus far and that continued again today. The pass rusher continued to get after the passers and the secondary forced a total of 4 interceptions today. Two be safety Justin Simmons, one by safety Will Parks, and the other by linebacker Josey Jewell who caught one after it was tipped at the line of scrimmage. As a defensive minded coach, Vic Fangio has to be happy with this type of performance but now that he’s a Head Coach, he is also concerned with the offensive performance. So when asked if he was okay with the quarterbacks throwing all these interceptions so far, he said he is not.He likely wants to see both sides do well, but so far, it has been one sided. Today was another example of that with all the interceptions. Safety Kareem Jackson told reporters after practice that he felt the secondary had a “pretty good” practice. Safety Justin Simmons who had two interceptions of his own today, one off Joe Flacco and the other off Kevin Hogan. After practice, Simmons was asked how he felt about the turnovers and he obviously said that he felt good about it while also still saying he can get better.If the Broncos want to be successful this upcoming season, they need their defense to play like this. A Vic Fangio led squad is expected to be good here anyways, but it is still a good sign.Rookie wide receiver Juwann Winfree is turning some headsOne name that continues to be mentioned in each and every practice has been rookie sixth round pick, wide receiver, Juwann Winfree. Today he continued to flash and caught a deep bomb from fellow rookie Drew Lock.Another fellow rookie, guard Dalton Risner singled out Winfree as a player who he thought was standing out this far.One instance of his breaking out was noted in Andrew Mason’s camp blog. He notes that Winfree made a big-time catch against two of the Broncos veteran defensive backs.Winfree is a big receiver who has dealt with injuries throughout his time in college John Elway Jersey , but when healthy, he flashed real potential. Through three days of Training Camp practices with the Broncos, that potential is continuing to flash.Joe Jones and Josh Watson receive first-team reps at linebacker Yesterday, Alexander Johnson took first-team reps in place of injured inside linebacker Todd Davis in the first-team defense. Fangio told reporters that we would likely see new faces there today as they continue to rotate and that is exactly what happened today.We saw special teams ace Joe Jones and rookie Josh Watson get 1st team reps today.Jones told 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis that it “felt good, real good” to get first-team reps today during day three of Broncos camp.He also said that he has been mostly spending time with the Broncos first-team dime defense which is also interesting. He is an athletic linebacker so I’m intrigued to see how he does in that role.Undrafted rookie linebacker Josh Watson received first-team reps in base packages which a big opportunity for him. Fangio was asked about him and he told reporters that the undrafted rookie has been “fine” thus far but that he has to learn to become and NFL linebacker yet.Watson spoke to reporters after practice and went on about how surreal it was to be calling plays with the first-team defense with some well-known veterans looking him in the eye. A pretty cool moment for an undrafted rookie and a big time opportunity for him as well. With Fangio giving these young guys chances like these, we have a number of players to keep an eye on moving forward throughout camp. Austin Fort is a name to watchAnother undrafted rookie to keep an eye on moving forward is tight end Austin Fort. He has routinely been a name mentioned throughout the past three practices and could be elevating himself up the depth chart.With Jake Butt still getting eased in and Troy Fumagalli is day to day with a hip injury, Fort has a good chance to earn himself some meaningul reps moving forward. It really sounds like Fort is taking advantage of this opportunity as well. The tight ends figure to be important in this offense, so Fort’s chances of making the 53-man roster appear to be growing. He will need to continue this sort of play, but he really has put his best foot forward here. Injury reportReceiver/returner River Cracraft will be sidelined for about a week with a muscle injury.Tight end Troy Fumagalli is day to day with a hip injury.Linebacker Todd Davis remains sidelined with a calf injury. He will be out until about mid-August.Guard Ron Leary is “fine” per Fangio, but they are limiting his reps. News and notesAfter two retirements at wide receiver, the Broncos held try outs at that position today and ended up signing rookie wide receiver Jamarius Way from South Alabama.Quarterback Kevin Hogan’s struggles continued during day 3 of Broncos camp.Don Barclay continues to receive first-team reps at right guard as he spells expected starter Ron Leary.Rookie wide receiver Trinity Benson received some first-team reps today per Mike KlisRookie first-round pick Noah Fant made some plays during red zone work today. A place where we should see him used effectively moving forward. DeMarcus Walker totaled four quarterback pressures and one sack(If it was a game) during today’s practice so maybe the former second-round pick is turning the corner.UDFA edge rusher Malik Reed continued to get after the passer during today’s practice according to Andrew Mason. His odds of making the 53-man roster continue to grow. Tweets from campQuotablesHead Coach Vic Fangio on what he is hoping to see out of T Garett Bolles as he enters his third season.“Just to become a solid NFL left tackle. That’s a simple statement, but that encompasses a lot of things. I like where he’s at. I like his mindset. He’s not going to be perfect. The thing you always have to remember about him is he had such a limited football background prior to coming to the NFL that he’s still in the growing stages more so than other guys.”Head Coach Vic Fangio on what it was like to have former Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan at practice.“I was glad to have Mike here. I invited him out wanted him to come. I invited him for the spring work and schedules never matched up, but I was glad he was here. I think it’s good he’s here. Mike’s got a big part in the rich history of this franchise. He’s welcome to come here anytime he wants.”Kareem Jackson on how much time he spent at the safety position in Houston last year.“Last year, I actually started out the beginning of the year playing safety. I played safety throughout camp. I played the first three games as safety, but because of injuries I was moved back to corner. In previous years before that, I would play safety in different packages that we had. I’m very familiar with the position, so it’s all about getting acclimated to our new system here and this defense.” Receiver Emmanuel Sanders won’t be “full go” when the Broncos open training camp and may not avoid opening on the physically unable to perform list. It appears Jake Butt will avoid PUP.The Broncos tight end said he expects to begin working with his teammates on Day One of training camp, though he will be “eased into team work,” Ryan O’Halloran of reports.Butt is working his way back from a third torn anterior cruciate ligament. He played only three games last season and missed the Broncos’ offseason program while rehabbing.Butt, a fifth-round pick in 2017, missed his entire rookie season and most of last season. So Butt hopes for some good luck with his health in his third season. He has much to prove.The Broncos drafted Noah Fant in the first round and also have Jeff Heuerman and 2018 fifth-round pick Troy Fumagalli at the position.
