Attendance at the Denver Broncos' Organized Team Activities (OTAs) was solid, but not flawless, as several notable players were absent. Among these, defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers is expected to join the team for mandatory minicamp next week, which carries potential fines for non-attendance. Head coach Sean Payton indicated that left tackle Garett Bolles was excused for a personal matter, while rookie linebacker Karene Reid and wide receiver A.T. Perry were also missing from one of the media-accessible practices.

This situation highlights the emphasis on player health and personal matters during offseason practices. Even with some absences, the Broncos are preparing for a crucial upcoming season under Payton’s leadership, making it essential for all players to be in top form as they move towards training camp.
