Broncos offensive tackles Ja'Wuan James tore his Achilles on Tuesday while working out at an off-site location, and is expected to miss the upcoming season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The veteran's salary for this upcoming season, which was expected to be $10 million, is now in jeopardy since Denver is not obligated to pay him due to the injury not occurring at a team facility.
James had been working out at the Broncos’ facility this offseason until the NFLPA urged players to boycott on-site work due to COVID-19 concerns. Denver's players announced in early April that they wouldn't be participating in the team's voluntary offseason workouts.
