Report: Shane Ray avoids surgery and could be cleared for the start of Training Camp

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray actually did not need surgery on his wrist and his timetable to return to the field is much shorter than originally expected.

Unexpected good news for #Broncos: OLB Shane Ray was supposed to have wrist surgery this summer, but the doctor slated to perform it didn’t believe it was necessary, sources tell @JamesPalmerTV and me. He stuck to rehab & his timetable for return is much quicker than anticipated.

The initial report that came from Rapoport as well stated that Ray needed surgery on his wrist and it would sideline him for three months.
