NFL: Broncos WR Marshall skips mandatory minicamp


Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was a no-show at a mandatory minicamp on Friday.

Coach Josh McDaniels said he would meet with Marshall later in the day to discuss his absence.
Marshall had hip surgery on April 1 and missed part of the Broncos’ offseason passing camp.
Because of the surgery, Marshall wasn’t expected to work out during Friday’s minicamp, but team officials said he was required to attend meetings and work with medical personnel.
The Pro Bowl receiver has caught 226 passes for 2,899 yards and 15 touchdowns during his three-year Denver career. He’s had at least 100 receptions each of the last two years.
Marshall recently avoided legal and league problems over his March 1 arrest in Atlanta on misdemeanor battery charges stemming from a fight with his fiancee.
The charges were dropped last week when both Marshall and his fiancee, Michi Leshase Nogami-Campbell, refused to testify against each other. Earlier, the NFL decided against any punishment.
