If so, what do you see happening during training camp? — Terry, Denver Hey Terry, I’m filling in for Parker Gabriel this week while he is on vacation. This is a great question. I’ve wrestled with this one since Denver signed Frank Clark.At the moment, I don’t see the Broncos making a major move, but it wouldn’t hurt to add more depth at the defensive line or offensive tackle.Coach Sean Payton has been optimistic about Javonte Williams’ recovery from a torn ACL.
