Broncos' Justin Strnad: Gearing up for offseason program
Strnad (wrist) will be ready to participate when Broncos team workouts open up this spring, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
The Broncos acquired Strnad in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, intrigued by the pass-defending skill set he showcased during his career at Wake Forest.

Now, it's confirmed the linebacker will be ready to roll when offseason workouts begin in late April.
