Broncos excuse Antonio Smith from OTAs during investigation

Teams usually want every player available to show up for OTAs.

But obviously for the Broncos, Antonio Smith is a special case.

According to Mike Klis of KUSA, Smith will not participate in OTAs because of “personal reasons.”

That’s another way of saying “the Broncos don’t want him on their field wearing their or their sponsors’ logos while he’s part of an investigation in a child sexual abuse case in Texas.”

This is hardly an unexpected move, especially on the heels of the Bears’ release of Ray McDonald this week upon his latest arrest.
