ENGLEWOOD, Colo — At long last, it appears talented but oft-injured tight end Greg Dulcich is ready to rejoin the Broncos' practice fields.

And fifth-round rookie running back Audric Estime' appears sufficiently healed from his fairly recent athroscopic knee surgery to also participate in training camp that begins Tuesday when all 90 players are scheduled to report.

The Broncos did place outside linebacker Drew Sanders and safeties Caden Sterns and Dellarin Turner-Yell on their physical unable to perform (PUP) list. They will join undrafted rookie running back Blake Watson as those not ready to participate in camp this week. Watson appears to have suffered an injury during the NFL's vacation period.

The first three moves were expected as Sanders suffered an Achilles tear during the team's offseason program and Sterns and Turner-Yell each suffered season-ending knee injuries in 2023 -- Sterns in the season opener against the Raiders and Turner-Yell in the penultimate game against the Chargers.

Dulcich has missed most of his last two seasons with a hamstring and then a foot injury. He missed the entire offseason following foot surgery but he appears ready to return.

Estime tweaked his knee during the first week of OTAs and underwent an arthroscopic knee procedure that head coach Sean Payton described as minor enough for the Notre Dame product to return in time for the start of training camp.

Another tight end, starter Adam Trautman, is recovered after missing the two minicamp sessions in June with a hamstring pull.

The Broncos first camp practice will be Friday with fans who have tickets allowed free admission and parking at Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit.
