Right tackle Mike McGlinchey is one of the most important players on the Broncos’ roster, and there’s a $87.5 million contract to validate that statement.
When McGlinchey left practice Aug. 8 due to a knee sprain, there was some concern given that he was the centerpiece of an offseason overhaul of the offensive line. But he is back in full strength after the injury scare.
“It’s great to get back,” McGlinchey said after Wednesday’s practice. “Our training staff did an unbelievable job, and I was able to get back a little bit quicker than expected.”
McGlinchey was sidelined for two weeks, missing all three preseason games.
