Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle left Wednesday's practice early with an apparent lower-body injury and did not return. HC Sean Payton said the receiver is "expected to be fine," according to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. He attributed the issue to "muscle tightness."
What They're Saying: Low Level of Concern
Payton: "We'll evaluate him. I think he's fine."
Benjamin Allbright of KOA radio: "He pulled up a bit after a route on air and walked to the training room."

At this point, we have to assume Payton's telling the truth and avoid worrying too much about Waddle. We're certainly not adjusting his projection at this point.
We'll keep watch for more details on his health, though, and see if anything changes.
