Nik Bonitto (leg) avoids serious injury

Broncos EDGE Nik Bonitto avoided a serious leg injury during practice

Scoring Zone's Take

For draft prep purposes, treat this as a moderate yellow flag rather than a red one. The confidence on the "avoided serious injury" report sits at only 50%, so don't fully bank on him being ready to roll from Day 1 of camp — but also don't downgrade him significantly in IDP formats where he's typically valued as a productive pass-rusher. Hold his current draft slot in devy/IDP leagues, but check practice reports closer to the preseason finale before locking in his ADP.

Actionable takeaway: no add/drop urgency here since he's not on standard fantasy rosters, but IDP managers should monitor Denver's practice reports over the next week or two. If he returns to full practice soon, this becomes a non-issue; if the leg injury lingers into September, be ready to shade his IDP draft cost down slightly and have a next-man-up EDGE from Denver's depth chart as a late-round contingency.

Fantasy Impact:

Bonitto left team drills early and did not return. There should be an update on his injury status later in the week.
