Broncos training camp update — multiple injuries start to pile up — Zach and Phil break it down
Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay break down the heartbreaking moment at Broncos training camp when defensive lineman Matt Henningsen collapsed during a simple bag drill.
Face down, slapping the ground in anguish, Henningsen showed all the signs of a serious injury. The cart was eventually brought out, and while no official word has been given, the fear is that he suffered another Achilles tear — eerily similar to the one he endured just a year ago.
It’s a devastating scene: a young player fighting to carve out his role, only to be struck down in warm‑ups before practice even began. The Drive discusses the signs, the circumstances, and the emotional weight of seeing a player potentially relive the same nightmare injury twice.
