Trevor Siemian: 'I should be good' for start of OTAs

Trevor Siemian will be healthy enough to participate in Organized Team Activities in a few months.

Or will he?

Conflicting reports surfaced Friday regarding the status of the Broncos' incumbent starting quarterback, who underwent surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder last month.

Former Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley, who works for 104.3 The Fan in Denver, stated that Siemian is "unlikely to practice fully" until training camp in late July. The report, which came as a bit of a surprise, eventually made its way to Dove Valley, where team PR man Patrick Smyth doused the flames.

The update is ... there is no update. Siemian remains well on track in his recovery.

Thankfully, Troy Renck of 7News squelched any remaining drama by reaching out to Siemian, who confirmed, albeit tentatively, that he should be good to go for OTAs. He has a follow-up exam with his doctor next month, and that will be the key indicator.

"I am out of the sling and everything is going really well so far," Siemian said, via Denver7. "I should be good for OTAs but we'll see. I'll touch base with the Doc at the end of March and see how I am doing."

In 2016, his first season as an NFL starter, Siemian threw for over 3,400 yards and 18 touchdowns across 14 starts. He missed two games due to injuries -- shoulder and foot sprains -- but received a late-season invitation to the Pro Bowl, which he was forced to decline.

On Jan. 3, Siemian opted for an elective procedure to correct his shoulder injury, diagnosed as a sprained left AC joint. He made an appearance on the field at the Pro Bowl game in late January wearing a bulky shoulder sling, but was spotted sans the sling in a Valentine's Day video for the Broncos' official website.

Barring the unexpected, Siemian is facing an open competition against Paxton Lynch for Denver's starting job. The club, which heavily revamped its offensive coaching staff to better suit its young QBs, reportedly hopes to make a determination at the position by the start of training camp.

"I can't wait to pick up the new scheme. And I can't wait for football to come back around," Siemian said, per Denver7.
