Broncos' Bryce Callahan (foot) back to full speed

Denver Broncos defensive back Bryce Callahan (foot) has been medically cleared.

What It Means:

“On the medical side, he’s ready to go,” Broncos defensive coordinator Ed Donatell said Thursday. “He’s running full speed. He’ll be right in our camp and ready to go. He’s been totally engaged.” Callahan suffered a season-ending foot injury in OTAs last year after signing a multi-season contract with the Broncos a few months earlier. He's expected to be the team's starting slot corner, the same position he excelled in under head coach Vic Fangio while with the Chicago Bears in 2017 and 2018. Callahan is 28.

numberFire's models project Callahan for 1.0 interceptions and 1.7 pass deflections this season. The Broncos D/ST is 12th in our preseason fantasy rankings. Callahan was Pro Football Focus' ninth-best cover corner in 2018 out of 86 corners to log at least 500 snaps on defense.
