The Denver Broncos have placed backup offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of training camp. The team announced the move Sunday as Gargiulo continues working back from a knee injury.
The decision does not come as a major surprise given his recovery status. By opening camp on the PUP list, Gargiulo will begin practices sidelined while Denver manages his return carefully.
His absence is notable for the Broncos' offensive line depth as the team gets set for training camp. Even for a backup player, early camp reps can matter while coaches evaluate options and sort through position battles across the roster.
For now, the focus remains on Gargiulo's rehab and when he may be ready to rejoin full activity. Until then, the Broncos will move into camp with one of their reserve linemen unavailable as he continues recovering from the knee issue.
