DNVR Broncos’ Zac Stevens reports Jaylen Waddle (muscle tightness) was “walking with a limp” and did not practice on Thursday.

06 August 2026

We had hoped to see Waddle get in a limited session today, after coach Sean Payton downplayed Waddle’s injury on Wednesday. Evidently, he needed at least one day off. The Broncos practiced in pads for three days straight before going padless today. If Waddle has to miss a session, we suppose a padless walkthrough day is the ideal one to miss. Hopefully, we see him back in action in some capacity before long.
