 Brandon Marshall impressive at Broncos camp Brandon Marshall impressive at Broncos camp It looks like Brandon Marshall isn't going to suffer from one of those mysterious training camp injuries that often sideline disgruntled players. Marshall returned to the field for a full practice Friday, his first since undergoing hip surgery on March 31. Multiple Denver outlets commented that Marshall showed no rust and didn't limp after missing most of the offseason following hip surgery. Josh McDaniels was asked if he was surprised how good Marshall looked. "Excited about it; I wouldn't say pleasantly surprised," McDaniels said. "I know he's a good football player. I'm excited about watching him fit into our system and making plays." The contract year receiver didn't speak to reporters and its believed he still wants to be traded. It seems unlikely Marshall will get traded, but his only chance for it would be to show suitors that he's fully healthy during the preseason. And if he stays in Denver, the only way to increase his market value is to put up big numbers, just like he has the last two seasons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As he ran down the sideline a few feet from the crowd, Brandon Marshall was well-positioned to hear the cheers. The Broncos' star receiver had just made a nice catch on a well-thrown ball by quarterback Kyle Orton and Marshall was carrying out the play down field. This was his first, full-squad practice with the Broncos since he underwent hip surgery on March 31, yet there was no limp, no detectable signs of rust. "You could tell by watching him, he obviously has been working hard to try and get back where he was at last year," said Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler. The crowd applauded a bit louder with every stride Marshall took. The fans know Marshall has said he wants to be traded. But they were letting him know they'd like him to stay. The play over, Marshall started back to the huddle when he became happy Brandon again. He turned, went up to a young boy who had stood up from the crowd, and slapped him a high five. It was one of several catches Marshall made today in the Broncos' first day of training camp. "He came out and looked real good," said receiver Brandon Stokley. "He ran good routes; he looked precise." Following practice, Marshall entered the locker room without comment. But he was smiling as he walked by. Away from the field, Marshall is unhappy with his contract to the point he skipped a mandatory offseason minicamp in mid-June. He's back now. Was Broncos coach Josh McDaniels pleasantly surprised by how Marshall performed on the first day of training camp? "Excited about it; I wouldn't say pleasantly surprised," McDaniels said. "I know he's a good football player. I'm excited about watching him fit into our system and making plays."
