Broncos Day 9 Camp report: Penalties sti…
… The second-team offense moved the chains twice in a six-play series against the No. 1 defense, converting two third downs — one on a 5-yard pass from Kevin Hogan to Austin Fort, and another on a 9-yard Hogan pass to Steven Dunbar Jr. on third-and-8.
But the two-minute drill work ended quickly — and with Adam Gotsis celebrating a rare pick-six. He jumped to intercept a Drew Lock pass at the line of scrimmage and galloped 21 yards to the end zone, punctuating his score with an Australian-football-style punt.
… Things went better for Lock in the seven-on-seven period. He hit Fred Brown down the left seam for a 35-yard connection, then found Brendan Langley on a deep out for a 23-yard gain. Lock completed his next pass to Nick Williams before that segment of the period ended.
“He had some good periods here today. I think he did his best work in the seven-on-seven [period], which isn’t football, but it’s progress,” Fangio said.
… With Von Miller not at practice in order to attend a funeral and Dekoda Watson held out from team-period work, Jeff Holland saw the most extensive first-team action of his career to date. He flourished, forcing two incompletions with pressure.
… Outside linebacker Malik Reed also moved up the depth chart with Miller and Watson out. During one period, he defused a draw from Hogan to Booker by closing from the backside, then two plays later stunted through the A-gap, closing on Hogan so fast that Don Barclay had little he could do but reach out and hold, which led to a flag.
… Kelvin McKnight continued his strong camp, punctuating his day with a 6-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Brett Rypien during a team red-zone period.
… Khalfani Muhammad saw a smattering of first-team repetitions in the seven-on-seven period. He moved up with Phillip Lindsay sidelined after what Fangio said was a chiropractic treatment where “the guy overdid it.”
… Cornerback Isaac Yiadom worked with the first team throughout the practice after Bryce Callahan left because his foot was stepped on early in practice.
