Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee) returned to practice on Monday.
The Broncos activated Hamler from the PUP list at the beginning of the month, but he hadn't practiced prior to Monday. Hamler is poised to open the season as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver after Tim Patrick suffered an ACL tear early in training camp. The 2020 second-round pick said in May that he wants to play the "Tyler Lockett role" for new quarterback Russell Wilson.
Hamler is currently the WR74 in numberFire's preseason rankings. Our models project him for 42.1 receptions on 64.5 targets for 511.4 yards and 3.27 touchdowns this season.
