Bo Nix Returns, Cooper's Absence and Unheralded Standouts: Three BIG THINGS from Broncos Minicamp!

It was a BIG DAY at Denver Broncos minicamp, as Bo Nix returned to practice for the first time since his two ankle procedures this offseason -- although he was limited to individual work. Nix and Sean Payton talked about Nix's return. But while Nix practiced, embattled edge rusher Jonathon Cooper was given an excused absence as he deals with his legal issues ... which gives young edge rushers Jonah Elliss, Dondrea Tillman and Que Robinson more chances, which they maximized. The day also saw some outstanding plays from Adam Prentice and Matt Henningsen, the continued progress of Jonah Coleman and the Broncos debut of Hakeem Butler, recently signed from the UFL.
