ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In most offseasons, this is just another week of workouts, building toward extensive on-field team work that begins with Phase 3 of the offseason schedule late next month.
But the league permits teams to conduct an extra three-day voluntary minicamp for veterans after hiring a new head coach to help ease the transition to a new administration. That's why the Broncos gathered Tuesday for the first of three days of on-field work -- although the absence of helmets or pads of any kind provides a limit on the kind of work in which the team can engage.
