Bonjour from the valley of the doves, where the Broncos reconvened for their fourth day of Quarterback Camp and their second week of organized team activities this morning, going through their first full practice since Tony Scheffler broke a bone in his foot on Friday afternoon.

A few morning notes from the 10 minutes we could observe:

Safety Roderick Rogers arrived in time for today’s practice and wore jersey number 43. Rogers could not take part in last week’s sessions as his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin, did not complete its spring term until Friday. Rookies are unable to take part in anything other than minicamp practices until their school has completed its spring term, whether they are still enrolled at the university or not. (An exception was made for Maurice Clarett in 2005, since he had not been at Ohio State in a year and a half.) …

… Cornerback Dré Bly was not with the team this morning. Bly was back in North Carolina this weekend hosting his charity golf tournament. Independent of the tournament, Bly also contributed $2,500 to a memorial fund for Jason Ray, who played the Rameses mascot at the University of North Carolina (which Bly attended) and another $2,500 to a foundation that promotes organ donation. NOTE: Bly arrived mid-morning and was seen after practice heading to the strength and conditioning center to lift weights …

… Wide receiver Glenn Martinez was out of uniform; he missed Friday’s practice …

… After turning to a pair of rookies to lead the team in the pre-stretching “breakdown” last week, D.J. Williams called upon an old and quite personable hand, Keith Burns, who obliged the request, even though he now wears coaching garb as the Broncos’ newest special-teams assistant. Burns’ breakdown went over far better with the players than those of rookies Jarvis Moss and Ryan Harris last week …

… Wide receiver David Kircus was not on the field this morning …

… And, of course, more photos from the morning:

Back with more this afternoon.
