Will Courtland Sutton hold out in training camp? ‘We’ll see’

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Courtland Sutton was back for mandatory minicamp. But he was at far from a full workload.

In the wake of offseason ankle surgery, Sutton worked mostly on the side field in rehab during the practice. He did take repetitions during the individual period, at one point dropping a pass and giving himself push-ups as a punishment before focusing on work mostly done with other players coming back from various injuries.

“We were smart. I know [Sutton] did some extra work on field three,” Broncos coach Sean Payton siad.

“It’s great having him out here. He’s in good shape, but you don’t want to just throw him in there. So we’ll be smart about that.”

For most of the offseason, Courtland Sutton was at his Florida home, focusing on rehabilitation from a Week 18 ankle injury that necessitated surgery. Sutton said that he and Payton agreed on the process that involved having him do the rehabilitation in Florida before returning to Denver.

“I was down in Florida doing some rehab,” Suttons aid. “I linked up with the training staff here and they sent me down in Florida to a guy that they were comfortable with. I was down there working with him and getting my ankle right. I was having a really good rehab process.

“Talking to the team, [Coach [Payton] — they were on the same page of me being able to stay down there and continue to get my ankle to where I need it to get to so I would ultimately be able to get ready for the season.”

But there is still a question as to whether he’s back for training camp. Sutton did not take part in voluntary OTAs due to a contract stalemate. He has two years left on his deal, but comparatively little of the guaranteed money remains on the deal.

When asked about whether he would be on hand for training camp, Courtland Sutton was non-committal.

“We’ll see,” he said. “We’ll see what happens.”
