Broncos | Phillip Lindsay recovered from surgery Sat Jan 25, 07:12 PM
Denver Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay (wrist) said Saturday, Jan. 25, has already recovered from a minor scope he had done on his wrist three weeks ago. 'The procedure definitely helped, because it gave me a lot more flexibility and less pain,' Lindsay said. 'The cleanup was to take out some scar tissue that built up over time, which I knew was going to have to happen. I knew about it since day one that I was going to have to get some cleanup done, especially after a season of getting hit. ... Honestly, I feel really good. I could play today if I needed to.'
| Footballguys view: This is the second offseason wrist surgery in as many seasons. However, this year's procedure is much less serious and Lindsay might be out there for offseason work later this spring. Lindsay will need to be a better receiver out of the backfield with new OC Pat Shurmur running the offense in 2020. |

Broncos | Bradley Chubb expected for offseason work Thu Jan 23, 05:02 PM
Denver Broncos LB Bradley Chubb (knee) is making really good progress in his recovery, according to general manager John Elway Thursday, Jan. 23, and should be ready for organized team activities In May or the offseason program in April.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos defense could look much more ferocious in 2020 with the return of Chubb. While Von Miller had a disappointing 2019, his stats could improve next season with Chubb getting a lot of attention on the opposite side of the formation. |

Link to story Broncos | Pat Shurmur officially hired Tue Jan 14, 05:25 PM
Former New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur has been officially hired by the Denver Broncos as their new offensive coordinator, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: This has been out there for a few days. Shurmur takes over for the recently fired Rich Scangarello. The Broncos get a huge upgrade here with Shurmur taking over an offense with quarterback Drew Lock. The second-year pro has weapons like WR Courtland Sutton, TE Noah Fant and RB Phillip Lindsay. The Broncos need to build a better O-line in front of him and draft a playmaking wide receiver to start opposite of Sutton. Shurmur's offense will feature plenty of 3-WR sets and a shotgun-heavy style that suits Lock's ability. |
Broncos | Rich Scangarello let go Sun Jan 12, 04:07 PM
Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello was fired Sunday, Jan. 12, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The timing of this is a bit off as the Broncos season wrapped up a couple of weeks ago. Scangarello was a first-year OC who failed to make a consistent game plan for the Broncos as they went through three quarterback changes. The team was 4-1 with rookie QB Drew Lock at the end of the season, but that was not enough to save Scangarello's job. Early speculation has the Broncos interested in former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur. |

Link to story Broncos | Justin Simmons may be tagged Sat Jan 4, 07:44 PM
Denver Broncos impending free-agent FS Justin Simmons is a candidate for the franchise tag this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Simmons was rated by Pro Football Focus as the best safety in the game, and he was voted second-team All-Pro for his performance in 2019. The Broncos aren't going to let him get away for 2020. A franchise tag is the most likely outcome here. The Broncos will get until mid-July to work out a long-term deal with Simmons if they choose to franchise tag him. |
