Broncos WR Preview: Courtland Sutton returns from ACL injury to lead young group of receivers

Editor’s note: Sixth in a series previewing each Broncos position group entering the start of training camp on Tuesday.

Throughout last year’s training camp, Courtland Sutton wasn’t just the Broncos’ best receiver, he was their best offensive player.

Sutton got open on shallow crosses, caught contested passes in the red zone and showed his usual downfield playmaking ability. A repeat of his breakout 2019 (1,112 yards and a Pro Bowl selection) was anticipated.

But before the end of Week 2, Sutton was gone for the season, tearing his ACL in his 20th snap of the loss at Pittsburgh.
