Broncos’ WR Marvin Mims Jr. left Wednesday’s practice early with a groin injury. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team isn’t “overly concerned.”

WR Devaughn Vele has been traded to the New Orleans Saints, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims started opposite WR Courtland Sutton in Saturday’s preseason contest against the San Francisco 49ers.

Broncos rookie WR Pat Bryant drew rave reviews in the first few days of Broncos training camp. His ability to get open and create easy throws for QB Bo Nix was on display. He was also noted for his soft hands and may be earning his way to playing time as a third-round rookie.

Broncos WR Troy Franklin has “stood out in a major way” in offseason practices, per beat writer Nick Kosmider. The second-year pro is coming off an underwhelming rookie season with 28 catches, 263 yards, and 2 TDs.

Broncos second-year WR Devaughn Vele has earned praise from multiple sources for his performance in early team workouts.

Broncos HC Sean Payton said "so many things" about WR Pat Bryant's game remind him of WR Michael Thomas. "Very explosive off the line of scrimmage, very competitive, very tough," Payton said of Bryant, who was selected by Denver in Round 3. "His size and his hands are outstanding. He’s physical."

The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider named QB Bo Nix, RB Audric Estime, and WR Troy Franklin as potential “breakout candidates” in 2025. Nix finished QB8 in fantasy scoring as a rookie, so you could argue he’s not a fit here. But Estime and Franklin both underwhelmed in Year 1, so there’s room for growth.

Broncos WR Josh Reynolds is out for Week 6 and “likely a few more weeks” after undergoing finger surgery, according to insider Aaron Wilson. WR Troy Franklin is the most likely candidate to take Reynolds’ snaps, but the rookie is not a viable Week 6 fantasy play.

Broncos WR Troy Franklin has struggled in training camp, but the Broncos appear to want to keep developing him slowly. With the team preferring veterans like Tim Patrick, Franklin could be in line for a redshirt or special teams year only.

Broncos WR Troy Franklin is no higher than fifth on the depth chart right now, according to insider Benjamin Allbright. Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, and Josh Reynolds are the top three WRs, with Tim Patrick looking like the No. 4, per Allbright.
