Bradley Roby received a “get out of practice free” card.
He chose not to use it.
The Broncos’ fifth-year cornerback missed the team’s fourth day of organized team activities this past week with an illness. Roby awoke the next day with the same symptoms and he could easily have been excused again from the team’s voluntary offseason workouts. But Roby showed up, still far from 100 percent, and he said Broncos’ coach Vance Joseph even asked: “Why?”
“I just want to them to see that even though I’m sick, I’m still here,” Roby told The Denver Post, sitting outside the outdoor practice fields with white compression material draped over his head as protection from the hot sun.
