After a week of bad injury news, the Broncos welcomed some good news: Shaquil Barrett, their reserve outside linebacker who suffered a hip injury while working out on his own during the offseason, has been cleared to resume football activities and is expected to be pulled off the non-football injury list, according to a league source.
Barrett was injured in May while training on his own in between scheduled OTA (organized team activities) workouts. The Broncos feared the worst — that he might be lost for the season — but the injury did not require surgery and he was projected to return by early in the regular season.
