The Denver Broncos completed their mandatory minicamp this week with a notable absence of eight players, primarily due to injury. Among them was wide receiver Devaughn Vele, who will be back at full capacity for training camp, according to coach Sean Payton. He also mentioned that A.T. Perry may take an additional week before joining the team, as he is recovering from an ankle injury. Other injured players include linebacker Dre Greenlaw (quad), long snapper Mitchell Fraboni (back), and pass rusher Jonah Elliss (shoulder). The Broncos are hopeful that all players will be ready for the upcoming season, reducing concerns as they move into training camp.

Josh Jacobs, a running back for the Green Bay Packers, emphasized the urgent need for the team to secure a proven No. 1 wide receiver during a recent radio appearance. His comments echo the frustration of fans who have felt the impact of Davante Adams' departure to the Las Vegas Raiders, the last player to achieve 1,000 receiving yards for the Packers. Despite the franchise's historical reluctance to draft wide receivers in the first round, Jacobs believes that the team's current situation, particularly the underwhelming performance of recent draft picks, necessitates a change.

With the Packers projected to have significant spending power in the upcoming offseason, Jacobs' public call for a standout receiver could serve as a catalyst for the front office. The previous lack of response to Aaron Rodgers' concerns about the receiving corps suggests skepticism about immediate action. Nevertheless, the pressure is mounting as they look to bolster their offense and support young quarterback Jordan Love.
