The Denver Broncos concluded their second session of a four-day offseason minicamp on Wednesday.  Here are some quick hits on today’s events:
Attendance report — For the second consecutive day, kicker Matt Prater was the sole player absent, holding out in hopes of receiving a long-term contract.  The Broncos had offered Prater a one-year tender worth about $2.5 million, but Prater and his agent are hoping to hammer out a five-year deal.
Injury report — Running back Knowshon Moreno (ACL), guard Chris Kuper (ankle) and tight end Julius Thomas (ankle) were all limited or did not participate while recovering from respective injuries. Â Moreno participated in seven-on-seven drills and Kuper participated on a light basis while Thomas was inactive.
Manning’s “best day yet” — Quarterback Peyton Manning has his “best practice” of the offseason, according to the local media members.
Rookie Roundup — There’s a good chance that several rookies will have an impact on a week-to-week basis this season in Denver.  Reports indicate that running back Ronnie Hillman (3rd/67th) looks good and could potentially secure the No. 2 RB spot behind starter Willis McGahee.  Linebacker Danny Trevathan (6th/188th) started in the team’s nickel package today and made an impressive play when breaking up a deep pass intended for tight end Jacob Tamme.  Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe (2nd/36th) continues to see time rotating on Denver’s defensive line.

Miscellaneous notes — Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, a good friend of Manning, was a guest at practice today… Manning acted as a pass rusher during quarterback drills today, simulating game-day pressure for the other three quarterbacks… Safety Rahim Moore started across from Mike Adams at safety today, a day after Quinton Carter got first-team repetitions. The two young safeties are expected to rotate in with the first-team defense throughout the summer as they compete for a starting gig.
