Broncos Center Luke Wattenberg Exits Practice; Payton Optimistic
Denver Broncos starting center Luke Wattenberg left Monday's practice after an injury during one-on-one drills, but head coach Sean Payton said he believes Wattenberg will be fine.
What happened
Luke Wattenberg went down hard in a one-on-one drill early in practice, tested his left arm range of motion, and was taken into the facility. He did not return. Sean Payton offered a positive outlook, stating the team will evaluate him but thinks "he'll be fine." Alex Forsyth stepped in at center.
Fantasy impact
As an offensive lineman, Wattenberg's status primarily affects Bo Nix's protection and the running game. A short absence would have minimal direct fantasy impact, but prolonged time out could slightly elevate concerns for Denver's offensive efficiency. Monitor for updates before adjusting rankings of Broncos skill players.
