Good morning, Broncos Country.

With training camp just a few weeks away, a bit of shocking news hit the waves the other day. Earlier in the week, Denver Broncos safety P.J. Locke revealed on social media that underwent surgery this past offseason—and it wasn’t just any routine surgery.

According to the video above, Locke mentioned he was suffering from extreme lower back pain during the team’s 2024 campaign. The severity of his condition? It was eventually discovered that he had bone on bone contact between the fourth and fifth vertebrae in his spine—which needed special fusion surgery to fix.
