  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Cleared for training camp

    Skinner (shoulder) stated on his personal Instagram account Monday that he's "100 percent cleared" following the labrum surgery he underwent in February, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    When announcing the surgery on his Instagram account in February, Skinner said that he played with the torn labrum the "whole season." The 2023 sixth-round draft selection logged most of his playing time on kick coverage last year, playing 34 defensive snaps and 322 special-teams snaps and tallying 12 tackles (eight solo) along with a recovered fumble over 17 regular-season games. Skinner is slated to again work as a core special teamer and rotational safety during the upcoming campaign if he makes the 53-man roster.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Gets surgery on labrum

    Skinner underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Skinner posted on his Instagram account that he played the "whole season" with his "labrum tore all around." The third-year safety also suffered a quadriceps injury during the postseason and was inactive for the AFC Championship Game versus New England. Skinner played just 34 defensive snaps over 17 games during the regular season but was a core special-teamer for the Broncos.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Won't play against New England

    Skinner (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Skinner popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited participant due to a quadriceps injury, which is severe enough for him to not play Sunday. Devon Key will serve as the Broncos' depth option at safety behind starters Talanoa Hufanga and P.J. Locke in Skinner's absence.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Questionable for Sunday

    Skinner (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

    Skinner has been a reliable depth piece for most of the Broncos' season, but a downgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice may mean the backup safety will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old is primarily a special-teams player, and if he is unable to take the field, another defensive back or wide receiver will likely take over his snaps.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Good to go vs. Las Vegas

    Skinner (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session.

    Skinner has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Steelers. He started the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but his full participation Thursday indicates that he'll be available for Week 5 against the Raiders. Skinner accrued two solo tackles over the first two games of the regular season.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Remains out in Week 4

    Skinner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

    Skinner will remain sidelined for a second game in a row after suffering an ankle injury in Week 2 versus the Steelers. Devon Key will likely step into a more significant role in Denver's secondary again in Week 4.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Ruled out for Week 3

    Skinner (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Skinner sustained an ankle injury during the Broncos' Week 2 loss to the Steelers. The injury was severe enough to keep him from practicing all week, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 4 against the Jets on Sept. 29. Devon Key will serve as the top rotational safety Sunday behind starters P.J. Locke and Brandon Jones.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Questionable to return

    Skinner (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Steelers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Skinner suffered an ankle injury in the second half of the team's contest with Pittsburgh. In his absence, Devon Key will see an increased workload in Denver's secondary.

  • Broncos' JL Skinner: Ready to compete

    Skinner (pectoral) has been cleared to practice, John Heath of BroncosWire reports.

    Skinner avoided the PUP list and has been cleared to practice after suffering a pectoral muscle tear while training in February. The sixth-round rookie will work to earn a depth role in Denver's secondary during camp.
