ENGLEWOOD DeShone Kizer Jersey , Colo. (AP) The Denver Broncos don’t put their full pads on until Tuesday but they’re already a banged-up bunch.

Newly signed receiver Corey ”Philly” Brown is in concussion protocol after hitting his head in the weight room and when the Broncos put on shoulder pads for the first time Monday several players hobbled off.

”Football is played in pads, so to put the pads on and watch the guys bang a little bit is always fun,” coach Vance Joseph said. ”For the running game, and obviously stopping the run, the pads are critical.”

Left tackle Garett Bolles and inside linebacker Brandon Marshall were among the casualties Monday.

”Garett Bolles took a shot to the chin. He’s being evaluated for a head injury,” Joseph said, adding that Marshall ”had a minor wrist injury. He’s OK.”

Cornerback Marcos Rios sat out with a sore hip and tight end Jeff Heuerman sat out with a sore knee, which Joseph said was strictly precautionary.

The Broncos are also dealing with second-year wide receiver Carlos Henderson, who failed to report to training camp while dealing with what the team calls a family situation.

Although Joseph has said it’s up to Henderson whether his career will continue, several members of the organization are keeping in touch with their absent teammate.

”Lots of guys have called Carlos. (Wide Receivers) Coach Zach (Azzanni) has been calling him, I’ve been calling Carlos, his teammates have been Peyton Manning Jersey ,” Joseph said. ”Obviously, he’s having some family issues he’s working through and it’s really his timeline.

”He can return any time he gets ready to return. It’s on him, but his guys are supporting him, the coaches are supporting him. So we’re looking forward to having him back.”

Henderson was a third-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech last year but he missed his rookie season with a hand injury. He missed much of the offseason program this year with a pulled hamstring and is a long-shot to even make the 53-man roster if he does return.

Joseph said he has no timeline for Henderson to get back.

”We’ve had some conversations about other things than football. He’s not ready for football right now, so we’re not talking about football a lot,” Joseph said. ”We’re doing a good job as a team of checking on him on a daily basis.”

Things should ratchet up overall Tuesday when the Broncos also wear their thigh pads.

”Any time we’re full pads, it’s like game day,” Joseph said. ”Every pad’s on, mouth guard, chin straps buckled, so it’ll look different as far as what they’re wearing, but the practice shouldn’t look that much different as far as the physical part of it.”

Nose tackle Domata Peko http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/mark-sanchez-jersey , for one, appreciated finally getting to do some hitting in the trenches Monday.

”That what it’s about, you know? We don’t play without shoulder pads, so when you get them on that’s when you really get to get real physical and do your job,” Peko said. ”Especially up front. In the trenches, you’ve got to have the pads on and feel that contact to see where you’re at and sharpen each other up.

”It was a good first day of shells today. They call it shells, and then full pads tomorrow, but in the trenches, every time we put the pads on it’s pretty much full pads. It felt good today.”

The Broncos will also be in full pads Wednesday.

The more I hear about the new helmet rule, the more concerned I am that NFL football will be changing so dramatically that it may become unrecognizable. Bit by bit, tweak by tweak, rule change by rule change Geron Christian Jersey , the game could — in the name of player safety, an admirable goal — become so safe that it fundamentally changes.

It’s an evolution that, when looking back over 20 years, feels more like a revolution. The NFL, after decades of denial regarding the risks of head trauma, apparently believes that the game must become safer in order to sustain its supply of players. At some point, however, fans of football the way it used to be played will feel alienated. And the risk isn’t that they’ll shun football; it’s that they’ll clamor for old-school football, and that a billionaire entrepreneur eventually will give it to them.

The latest step toward the far side of the Rubicon comes not from the changes to the kickoff rule (the kickoff is already dead, even if no one realizes it) but from the latest disclosure regarding the true extent of the new helmet rule. After two months of uncertainty, we now know that it applies not only in the open field but also in the trenches, where the task of sifting through bodies and spotting blows inflicted with a helmet on a consistent and fair basis becomes virtually impossible. Depending on how the rule ultimately is enforced Andre Reed Jersey , the between-the-tackles running game could wither, skewing the game even more toward glorified seven-on-seven drills.

Again, the goal is admirable. But football isn’t the only violent or risky endeavor. If the players willingly participate in the unsanitized version of the game (and at this point there’s no way any player can claim he doesn’t know the risks) and if fans willingly consume football as it historically has been played, is that a problem?

Apparently it is. Apparently the NFL thinks that parents will determine whether football is something that their children should play based not on the rules and realities of the youth version of the sport but on the images that emerge from the flat screen on Thursdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
