Broncos coach Sean Payton wants to see what he can do to keep his team healthier.
Payton said at training camp on Monday that he's concerned about the number of soft-tissue injuries his team has suffered so far in camp.
“We’ve got to get a handle on some of the soft-tissues,” Payton said, via the Denver Post. “We’ve had a couple either strains, hamstring or groins. We continue to fight through that.”
Payton said he doesn't want to blame the heat but does want to look at how the team can make sure the players are adequately taken care of, and taking care of themselves, before and during practice.
“You always try to look at your pre-practice routine," Payton said. "Your hydration, obviously. And it’s incumbent on the player. It’s hard for anyone to know your soft tissue. I’m always looking at maybe what we did leading up to the period when a guy had a strain."
The players who have had to miss time in training camp because of soft-tissue injuries include three of the Broncos' most important offensive playmakers, running back J.K. Dobbins and wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Marvin Mims Jr.
