The latest step in Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton’s return from a torn right ACL: On the practice field with his teammates.
Wearing a brace on the knee he injured last September in Pittsburgh, Sutton isn’t full-go, but is trending that way for the start of training camp and definitely the Sept. 12 opener at the New York Giants.
“For myself, I’m grateful for the chance to be able to go back out there,” Sutton said during a video conference Tuesday. “I heard all the stories about how ACLs used to be career-ending type of injuries.
“With technology and getting the surgery and seeing the progress day-to-day and month-to-month and being able to be on the grass doing individuals with the guys, being able to run routes with the guys and just talking to them and coaching them up … it’s been so much fun.
