Watson (leg) was activated from the active/non-football injury list Thursday and returned to practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watson will receive his first training camp action after being signed as a UDFA out of Memphis in the spring. However, the 24-year-old will likely be facing an uphill battle for a spot in the Broncos' backfield with Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie all returning and Denver adding Audric Estime in the fifth round of the 2024 draft.

Watson is expected to be recover from a slight leg muscle tweak that landed him on the Broncos' active/non-football injury list, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watson's placement on the NFI list is seemingly a procedural matter heading into training camp. A quick recovery would be in the undrafted rookie's best interest, as he is attempting to earn a depth role in Denver's backfield. Thus, the more time on the field the better.

The Broncos placed Watson on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watson appears to have sustained his injury away from Denver's practice facilities. The undrafted rookie out of Memphis will be eligible to return to practice at any point throughout training camp or the preseason, once cleared, but any amount of time missed will negatively impact his chances of earning a depth role in the Broncos backfield.
