The Broncos canceled practice Friday after they had a player test positive for COVID-19 for the first time since July 30.
A league source confirmed an ESPN report Friday morning that a Broncos offensive lineman’s test came back positive. Around 9:30 a.m., the Broncos issued a statement confirming the news.
NFL Network reported the player is starting right guard Graham Glasgow.
While not naming the player, the Broncos said: “The player is at home in self-isolation along with two other players who were determined to be close contacts.”
The Broncos said the team is “scheduled to return,” to practice on Saturday.
Earlier this week, offensive line coach Mike Munchak entered the COVID-19 protocol and was not present at practice Wednesday or Thursday.
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Chargers, who are scheduled to visit the Broncos on Sunday, cancelled practice because of a positive test (guard Ryan Groy).
Before Friday, the Broncos’ only other positive player test was fullback/tight end Andrew Beck.
Running backs coach Curtis Modkins tested positive earlier this month and missed the games at New England and against Kansas City. He returned to the facility earlier this week.
