Nerdy Football Analysis: The cause of the injury is unknown at this time. Jamaal Charles has been cleared for camp but he’s expected to be brought along slowly during August. Rookie De’Angelo Henderson is currently next on the depth chart but if the Broncos believe Booker’s injury lingers into the season, the could go after a free agent (Rashad Jennings, DeAngelo Williams) for depth.

Ligament damage in thumb

The Bears will be without Cameron Meredith for the remainder of organized team activities as well as the team’s mandatory mini-camp later this month after the third-year receiver suffered ligament damage in one of his thumbs during Thursday’s practice. (Chicago Tribune)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Surgery has not been ruled out as of now. With a recovery time of 6-8 weeks, Meredith is in danger of missing the early portions of training camp. It’s a setback for the starting receiver who projects to be the Bears best option in the passing game in 2017.
