Brandon Marshall Running Routes, Ahead of Schedule

Posted Mon May 19th by

[Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall]

The Denver Broncos received a nice surprise as mini camp opened Monday. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall, still recovering from an arm injury in March, ran routes and participated in general workouts during practice today. Among those surprised to see #15 strolling the practice field was Head Coach Mike Shanahan:

“It’s ahead of what I thought initially. I was told he could not work out until a month before we went to training camp.”

Marshall injured his arm after roughhousing with his family in Florida. Until it heals more fully, the 3rd year player will not be catching passes, the Denver Post reports.

The Broncos are now hoping that Marshall will be able to participate in full team practices as early as June 22nd, giving him a chance to catch passes in the last mini camp in early July and training camp thereafter.

Simply great news here. One of the bigger looming questions for our season is beginning to come into focus. Marshall’s recovery will have a large effect on the explosiveness of the Denver Broncos offense this year.

    You know, I remember last year when Marshall came to training camp late due to an injury and he came into camp playing like he’d been there the whole time. Lots of people marvelled at how crisp and good he looked.

    And then, of course, he went out and proved that he’s a #1 talent.

    There’s a lot to be said for a guy who recovers well from injuries.

    In a related note, the lady who wears pajama bottoms to 7-11 to buy Slurpees and Moon Pies wants her pants back, Brandon.

    That can’t be a picture of Marshall. Those pants are a clear case of rookie hazing.
