Broncos' JL Skinner: Cleared for training camp
Skinner (shoulder) stated on his personal Instagram account Monday that he's "100 percent cleared" following the labrum surgery he underwent in February, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
When announcing the surgery on his Instagram account in February, Skinner said that he played with the torn labrum the "whole season." The 2023 sixth-round draft selection logged most of his playing time on kick coverage last year, playing 34 defensive snaps and 322 special-teams snaps and tallying 12 tackles (eight solo) along with a recovered fumble over 17 regular-season games. Skinner is slated to again work as a core special teamer and rotational safety during the upcoming campaign if he makes the 53-man roster.

Skinner (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Broncos' JL Skinner: Questionable for Sunday
Skinner (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.
Skinner has been a reliable depth piece for most of the Broncos' season, but a downgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice may mean the backup safety will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old is primarily a special-teams player, and if he is unable to take the field, another defensive back or wide receiver will likely take over his snaps.
