Roster moves

The Broncos announced they have signed Deyon Sizer and waived Jamarius Way. Sizer — a 6-foot-4, 280-pound rookie defensive lineman — was previously in camp with Denver up until July 26 when he was waived. Sizer is a former Colorado State-Pueblo standout who started 25 college games. Way — a 6-foot-3, 215-pound rookie wide receiver from South Alabama — had signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent on July 20. Way did not attend practice on Sunday because of a personal matter, coach Vic Fangio said.

Top play

During 11-on-11 work with both first units on the field, quarterback Joe Flacco rolled left outside the pocket and targeted wide receiver Courtland Sutton in the corner of the end zone. Sutton displayed impressive body control for an acrobatic toe-tap touchdown reception down the sideline.

Thumbs up

QB Joe Flacco. The Broncos’ veteran passer connected on his first seven passes during 11-on-11 and was mostly sharp throughout the entire practice.

S Justin Simmons. It’s been a strong early showing for Denver’s starting free safety as Simmons intercepted Flacco in 11-on-11 to notch his fifth pick so far in training camp.

Thumbs down

TE Jeff Heuerman. An ugly Heuerman drop across the middle, on a pass thrown by Flacco, led to the Simmons pick.

QB Kevin Hogan. The Broncos’ backup quarterback was hardly used in team periods with only seven snaps of 11-on-11 and six snaps of 7-on-7.

Odds and ends

Fangio coached Thursday with a kidney stone against Atlanta and told reporters “it’s still in there” as of Sunday afternoon. “It’s kind of moody,” Fangio continued. “It acts up sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t. During practice today it was fine. Yesterday afternoon, it wasn’t so fine.”

The Broncos ran 88 snaps of 11-on-11, 34 snaps of 7-on-7 and returned to practicing in pads after going without them on Day 11.

Quarterback snaps (11-on-11): Joe Flacco 49, Kevin Hogan 7, Drew Lock 19 and Brett Rypien 13.

Newly acquired running back Theo Riddick ran with the first- and second-team offense in scrimmage periods. He lined up in the backfield and at receiver en route to three catches and one rush between 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 work.

Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders received his biggest workload in 11-on-11 since the start of training camp as he continues to recover from Achilles surgery. Sanders caught four passes from Flacco with the first unit and his health progress wasn’t lost on cornerback Chris Harris: “One day I’m gonna have to jam him up and see if he can get off the jam. But he’s looking good to me.”

Quarterback Drew Lock went 7-of-9 passing in 11-on-11 work after a lackluster preseason debut against the Falcons. Coach Vic Fangio reiterated: “I was hoping for more but not surprised by his play. He’s a rookie playing in a pro system that he didn’t play in college and he’s not ready yet. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be ready in two weeks from now, three weeks from now or four weeks from now. All these quarterbacks are different about how they adapt and become an NFL quarterback. He’s not there yet, but that’s expected.”

The Broncos’ offense practiced situational football during multiple 11-on-11 periods: First-and-10 at the 35-yard line with 35 seconds left and no timeouts, first-and-10 at the 50-yard line with 1 minute left and no timeouts, and first-and-10 from the 25-yard line with 2:20 left and one timeout.

Denver showcased a flash of trickery during goal-line scrimmage periods with running back Royce Freeman once throwing incomplete and direct snaps to running back Devontae Booker and Rypien.

Practice ended with Flacco orchestrating a successful 2-minute drive capped with a touchdown completion to Cracraft.
