AFC Notes: Broncos, Jaguars, Jets, Raiders, Titans

Broncos

  • Broncosโ€™ practice squad RB Jonathan Williams had interest from the Chiefs, Vikings, and Jets before agreeing to a deal with Denver. This is likely why Williams was able to secure such an impressive salary for a practice squad member.
  • Broncos RB Devontae Booker (wrist) said he is still unsure about his timetable for recovery: โ€œIโ€™m not sure yet. It all depends on how much Iโ€™m doing out there with my running backs coach and getting back into football shape.โ€ (Nick Kosmider)
  • Booker went on to say that he must undergo a CT scan before he is cleared for practice: โ€œI just got to get a CT scan Friday and then Iโ€™ll be ready.โ€

Jaguars

  • Jaguars QB Blake Bortles said he is 100 percent recovered from his wrist injury: โ€œIt feels goodโ€ฆ Good to goโ€ฆ A hundred percent.โ€ (John Oesher)
  • Jaguars HC Doug Marrone mentioned he is still undecided who will be their starting left guard: โ€œWe are still moving people through.โ€ (John Oesher)
  • According to Oehser, Patrick Omameh, Earl Watford, Josh Wells, and Tyler Shatley are all competing for the left guard role.
  • Marrone declined to say whether Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) will be out for Week 1.

Jets

  • The Jets worked out former Browns CB Alvin Hill on Wednesday. (Aaron Wilson)

Raiders

Raiders HC Jack Del Rio said the team will continue to monitor K Sebastian Janikowski, who wound up on the injury report with a back issue amidst a recent contract dispute.

โ€œIโ€™m not good about forecasting things,โ€ Del Rio said, via Michael Wagaman of the Associated Press. โ€œWeโ€™ll see how he goes through the work week. There was concern early in the week that weโ€™ll need to see how he does, how he responds. We had some kickers come in here to make sure that weโ€™re prepared in the case that heโ€™s not able to go that weโ€™re covered. Thatโ€™s really it.โ€

When asked about the Janikowskiโ€™s contract situation, Del Rio said rumors โ€œtook on a life of its ownโ€ and that the team is doing their โ€œdue diligence.โ€

โ€œI think it kind of took on a life of its own,โ€ Del Rio said. โ€œA lot of people reporting and speculating but weโ€™re just doing our due diligence and weโ€™ll see how the week goes.โ€
