Returns to practice Monday Waddle (leg) took part in Monday's practice, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Waddle exited practice on Wednesday, Aug. 5 due to muscle tightness in his leg and didn't mix back into drills before sitting out Friday's preseason game in Atlanta. Monday's appearance for the biggest newcomer to the Broncos offense this offseason is welcome news for QB Bo Nix and company, but it's unclear how much work Waddle was able to handle. Waddle's next chance for exhibition action if Fridays versus the Packers.

Not suited up Friday Waddle (leg) isn't slated to play in Friday's preseason contest in Atlanta, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Waddle initially exited last Wednesday's session early due to muscle tightness, and while he got rid of the sleeve on his left leg this past Saturday, he has yet to mix back into drills in the meantime. As a result, his first taste of game action as a Bronco will have to wait until at least next Friday against the Packers. Once Waddle is healthy, he's set to form a top WR duo in Denver with Courtland Sutton for QB Bo Nix.

Still not practicing Waddle, who has been dealing with muscle tightness, didn't participate in practice Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Per Stevens, Waddle was present for the session, but the wideout once again didn't work in the team's drills. Waddle remains day-to-day ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons, but given that he hasn't practiced since last Wednesday, it's increasingly likely he'll be sidelined for that contest.

Misses another practice Waddle, who left this past Wednesday's practice with muscle tightness, didn't practice Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact That's not surprising given that coach Sean Payton noted Thursday of Waddle that he thought the wideout would be back in "the next 4-5 days." With that in mind, consider Waddle day-to-day ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons.

Sheds leg sleeve Waddle worked on the side at Saturday's training camp practice and was not wearing a sleeve on his leg, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Waddle was sporting a sleeve on his left earlier in the week, and he looked to be running more easily since leaving Wednesday's practice due what was reported at the time as "some muscle tightness," per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. There doesn't appear to be any long-term injury concern for Waddle, though he'll continue to have his practice reps limited and could see minimal action in exhibition games, with the Broncos' preseason opener taking place Friday against the Falcons. Marvin Mims (undisclosed) is also sidelined for Saturday's practice, so Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey are slated for more work with the first-team offense alongside Courtland Sutton.

Impact Per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post, Payton said that Waddle is dealing with a "strain," though it's unclear which muscle is affected. According to Zac Stevens of DNVRSports and Luca Evans of The Denver Post, Waddle -- who did extended rehab/side-field work Thursday -- was spotted with a limp in the process, but based on Payton's comments, the wideout isn't expected to miss extended time ahead of Denver's Aug. 14 preseason opener

Present for practice without helmet Waddle, who left Wednesday's practice with muscle tightness, is present for Thursday's session, but appears to be an observer, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette, while the wideout was spotted at practice Thursday, he wasn't wearing his helmet. Still Waddle's presence, in any capacity, suggests that Wednesday's muscle tightness isn't a concerning issue and that he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Bothered by muscle tightness Waddle left Wednesday's practice early due to "some muscle tightness," Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Broncos coach Sean Payton said he expects Waddle to be fine. The wideout walked off the practice field earlier Wednesday, going back to the locker room without the assistance of a trainer. Waddle has often been banged up throughout this NFL career, but he's never missed time with a hamstring or groin injury -- the most common area of concern for muscular injuries with WRs.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Exits practice Wednesday Waddle (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's practice, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Per Evans, Waddle headed to the locker room during the session, and didn't return to the field for the initial stages of team drills. The reason for his departure is unclear, but added context regarding the wideout's status should arrive soon.
