The Broncos were thin on participants as Week 2 of organized activities opened Monday. But they did have a key player in a helmet: edge rusher Shane Ray.
The Broncos' first-round draft pick, who has been recovering from a turf toe injury he sustained in January, went through blocking-sled and footwork drills, his first on-field activity of the offseason.
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said the plan was to slowly reintegrate Ray into the team's workouts so he had time to fully rehabilitate the toe, something he wasn't able to do with pre-draft workouts.
While Ray participated, a number of veterans were given the day off: Peyton Manning, Aqib Talib, Chris Harris, T.
