NFL teams have no obligation to disclose injury information during the preseason. The Broncos opted to do so on Saturday night, in connection with the fact that veteran receiver Demaryius Thomas did not play.

“He’s got a sore wrist,” coach Vance Joseph told reporters after the game. “It happened in practice I think on Thursday and he couldn’t go tonight.”

The story went on to speculate Thomas could end up being the subject of trade talks, mostly because the team has a group of very young receivers in Sutton, Hamilton and Henderson they seem to feel pretty good about. The injury doesn't appear to be serious.

Denver’s 2017 third-round NFL Draft pick Carlos Henderson has missed the entirety of training camp while on the “Did Not Report” list with a personal family issue. Henderson, who tallied 1,535 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior at Louisiana Tech, was already on thin ice after missing part of the offseason program with a hamstring injury.

“He’s got to get back on the field if he wants to make this football team,” Broncos coach Vance Joseph said at the time.

Then, after training camp practice Thursday, Joseph was asked if he had an update on Henderson.

“None,” Joseph said. That was it.

Of course Thomas, Sanders, Sutton and Hamilton are locks to make the roster, the story said. It's one of the more talented, crowded positions on the team, the story added. Henderson could still make the practice squad even if he doesn't report back in time to make the 53-man roster, especially considering a third-round pick is a valuable asset to spend.

NFL.com's James Palmer reports that the number three wide receiver job for the Broncos appears to belong to rookie Courtland Sutton. Denver's veteran cornerbacks told Palmer, "He is the third receiver. It's not even a competition. Everyone on this team knows it."

This is to be expected after the Broncos spent a second-round draft selection on Sutton this spring, but it is good to see him showing out enough early in camp to receive such praise from members of the defense. While Denver has implied that they would like to run the ball this season, they have the personnel for a surprisingly good spread attack. Sutton may have more value than fantasy owners think, being drafted outside of the top 75 wideouts in redraft leagues.
