The Broncos’ top 2010 pick made another step forward to being able to work 100 percent Monday, working against a defense for the first time and catching a pair of passes, including a overhead, back-corner-of-the-end zone catch from Brady Quinn during a seven-on-seven red zone period.
“It just felt good. I was happy to be out there competing, getting some more reps,” Thomas said.
AS THOMAS WORKED with the team, fellow rookie Eric Decker worked with strength and conditioning coach Rich Tuten on an adjacent field. There remains no concrete timetable for the third-rounder to make his Dove Valley debut, although training camp remains the target.
“He’s doing everything we’re asking of him,” head coach Josh McDaniels said. “As soon as he’s ready to go, and he can go out there without any risk of a setback, then he’ll be ready to go.”
