- Broncos special teams ace out for OTAs after 'minor' back procedure
This explains why the Denver Broncos signed veteran long snapper Zach Triner right before the 2025 NFL draft.
Mitchell Fraboni , the team's incumbent long snapper who just signed a three-year extension this month, recently underwent a scheduled minor back procedure , according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis.

The Broncos knew about the procedure before they re-signed Fraboni, so it does not appear to be a long-term concern, but the long snapper will not be available for organized team activities this spring.
Fraboni is expected to recover in time for the start of training camp in July, but he won't be healthy in time for OTAs ( May 27-29, June 3-5 ), and his status for mandatory minicamp ( June 10-12 ) is uncertain. So Triner was brought in as a short-term fill-in.
If all goes well, Fraboni will fully recover and reclaim long-snapping duties. Triner would likely then be released, but Denver could keep him in mind in case Fraboni is ever unavailable this season.
The Broncos ' offseason workout program kicked off on Monday . Sean Payton's squad returned to work with little fanfare, but we do know wide receiver Courtland Sutton is among the players attending the voluntary workout program this offseason.
