Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle is expected back in 4-5 days, HC Sean Payton said Thursday. Waddle went down with what Payton called a "strain" in Wednesday's practice. Payton didn't give any other details, but Waddle had a sleeve on his left leg on Thursday.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe: "Waddle worked with trainers on side field today with black sleeve on left leg. He’s made a HUGE impact in early stages of camp."

Payton's comments, plus the fact that Waddle was doing any work at all on Thursday, suggests that this is a minor injury.
He's worth watching closely the rest of the summer, especially considering his lengthy injury history. But we're not moving Waddle in the WR rankings right now.
