Report: Rookie safety JL Skinner is ‘tracking to avoid PUP’ and to be cleared by the start of training camp

In February, when Boise State safety JK Skinner was preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine, he, unfortunately, ended up tearing his pectoral muscle while training. This injury would sideline him for months and stop him from working out for teams prior to the draft. Before this injury, he was viewed as a potential day-two selection in the draft, but after the injury, he slid all the way to the sixth round of the draft. This is where the Denver Broncos selected him with their 183rd overall selection.

During OTA’s and minicamp practices, Skinner participated in drills but was held out of team drills, but that appears to be changing once camp starts.
