Broncos cornerback Chris Harris has been back with the team for only a week following the resolution of his contract dispute, but he is already feeling comfortable.

“It’s a lot of the (types) of defense that I’ve run in the past,” Harris said after Tuesday’s opening mandatory minicamp practice. “Some new and different checks, but I’ve seen everything in eight years to be able to catch on fast.”

Harris was in a customary spot with the first-team defense and stayed at one of the outside spots throughout the 11-on-11 sections of practice.

“He’s done fine,” coach Vic Fangio said. “Chris has done a good job of picking things up, but he’s obviously not in-tune with all the details of it. That will come with time on task, both in the meeting room and on the practice field.”

When the Broncos break for the summer Thursday, Harris will have participated in six workouts.

Last week, safety Will Parks said the Broncos’ new defense is “Christmas for cornerbacks.” How about it, Chris, after being around for a few days?

“It’s a lot of things I’ve done in the past,” Harris said. “It’s just about waiting to get to the games and playing fast. You know me — I like practice, but I love the games.”

Minicamp opens

The Broncos were on the field for more than two hours, but their minicamp practice looked a lot like the organized team activity workouts.

“We followed the same practice plan, just added a few minutes to every period because we can stay out here longer,” Fangio said.

Practice began outside, moved inside because of weather concerns and finished outside. A hurry-up period wrapped up the session.

The first-team offense got bogged down, their series ending with an incompletion (break-up by cornerback Bryce Callahan), a penalty on left guard Dalton Risner and a batted-down pass by nose tackle Shelby Harris.

Second-team quarterback Kevin Hogan had five incompletions (not including a clock-stopping spike), including a near interception by cornerback De’Vante Bausby and a break-up by safety Su’a Cravens.

The third-team offense was ready to take the field, but Fangio put the starters back out there. Flacco completed 6-of-8 passes during the possession.

“We had extra time (and) a couple of drives that didn’t last as long as they could have and we gave them some more reps,” Fangio said.

Overall as an offense during the offseason program, Flacco said: “Vic’s defense and the progress they’ve made and the amount of stuff they’ve put in, it tests you every day so you go out there and you make some mistakes. But we’ve been able to learn from a lot of them.”

Lock’s collisions

Rookie quarterback Drew Lock, who is running the third-team offense, was involved in two collisions.

Lock hit the turf when rookie outside linebacker Malik Reed didn’t slow down soon enough. Lock popped right back up and Reed received a few words from Fangio.

“We make our guys aware of (not contacting the quarterback) all the time and I think our offensive linemen and defensive linemen and outside linebackers, the guys primarily protecting and rushing, have done a great job since we’ve been here of getting something out of practice without overdoing it,” Fangio said.

Later, Lock scrambled right and barreled over cornerback Trey Johnson, who was caught in no man’s land — get out of the way or slow Lock down.

Injury updates

Receiver Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles), running back Phillip Lindsay (wrist) and tight end Jake Butt (ACL) will end the offseason program the same way they started it — as spectators. Lindsay and Butt did some individual work, but none did any team drills.

Of Sanders, Fangio said: “I think Emmanuel is doing well physically. I have no medical basis for this, but I think he’ll be back earlier than people think.”

Right guard Ron Leary (Achilles) appeared to participate in more plays and cornerback Isaac Yiadom (shoulder) did 11-on-11 work after being limited to 7-on-7 during the three OTAs open to the media.

Footnotes. The only missing player was inside linebacker Todd Davis, whose wife went into labor Tuesday morning. Joseph Jones took Davis’ spot with the first-team defense. … The Broncos hosted 50 members of the military from Fort Carson. Players signed autographs for them after practice. … Former Colorado defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt has been a regular at OTAs and worked with Fangio in San Francisco. Just an observer or will he have a role in training camp? “He’s here observing — his wife kicked him out of the house,” Fangio joked.
