Broncos Briefs: KJ Hamler confident he will recover from ACL tear in time to play Week 1

Count on receiver KJ Hamler being a part of new quarterback Russell Wilson’s arsenal when the Broncos open the regular season in September.

Hamler suffered a torn left ACL last September against the New York Jets, but said Wednesday at Wilson’s introductory news conference that his rehabilitation is ahead of schedule and he expects to be available for Week 1.

“I’m not back at 4.2 (-second 40-yard dash time) yet, but I’m getting there,” Hamler said. “I’m back sprinting and I’m starting to get to more outdoor work — cutting, running — and also starting to get my endurance back up.
