Brandon Marshall’s absence from practice drags on

After little more than one full week of most training camps, the simmering wide receiver issues around the league have calmed down.

Braylon Edwards is practicing and chatty with Browns coach Eric Mangini. Roddy White got paid by the Falcons, and Anquan Boldin is saying all the right things in Arizona.

Against the backdrop of all this happiness, Brandon Marshall’s continued issues in Denver stick out.

Marshall appeared rather unhappy when he arrived in Denver, and has now missed a full week of practice after re-injuring his hip. He’s only been seen going to the weight room.

And according to the Denver Post, those around the Broncos “certainly” don’t expect to see him practice this week either.

Marshall’s two practices in camp represent his entire body of work on the practice field this offseason since undergoing hip surgery in March.

It’s unclear how serious his new injury is or if there are other factors at play.

Marshall has a history of missing offseason work, only to play outstanding when the games count. Pulling that off again in a new offense for a new coach with a new quarterback will test all of his impressive abilities.
