Broncos lose “tremendous teammate” Quinn Bailey to fractured right ankle in first major injury blow of training camp
The Broncos sustained their first major injury loss of training camp Wednesday when offensive lineman Quinn Bailey fractured his right ankle during a 9-on-7 drill.
Head coach Sean Payton confirmed the fracture, though it was clear immediately that Bailey had sustained a major injury. Players reacted by looking away after the pile cleared and training staff immediately put an air cast over his lower right leg, moved Bailey onto a cart and took him to a waiting ambulance.
“(The fracture) was definitely apparent,” Payton said. “I’m not sure of the timeline relative to surgery, but that’s always tough to see and to be a part of when you’re at practice. It’s one of the sometimes bitter realities of our game. He was having a real good camp.”
Indeed, Bailey had cemented himself a place on the 53-man roster, Payton said. The fifth-year lineman played in all 17 games last year, mostly on special teams and as the offense’s jumbo tight end.
“He’s a tremendous teammate,” Payton said. “A guy that all he does is work his tail off. The progress he made a year ago and all of a sudden, we were just discussing the roster the other day and he was easily for us lineman six. Someone who was going to be involved in the gameplan, jumbo (tight end).”
Instead, Bailey faces an extended absence.
Practice stopped for about five minutes after the injury. The offensive line, in particular, gathered up together for several minutes.
“He’ll have the support of everyone here,” Payton said.
Added tight end Greg Dulcich, “It’s devastating and you can only pray for him. The kind of guy he is, he’s going to attack the rehab and make sure he’s doing everything.”
Jones not worried about contract: D.J. Jones is among a handful of Broncos players entering a contract year this fall.
The 29-year-old interior defensive lineman is entering the eighth year of his NFL career and his third season with the Broncos. It’s the final year of a $30 million deal he signed with Denver in 2022. He can make up to $10 million in base salary ($9.49 million) and roster bonuses ($510,000), but none of the money is guaranteed at this juncture.
“I’m in Year 8, man, I’m just playing football at this point,” Jones said Wednesday. “I want to dominate every day and get better every day. I’m not even thinking about that. I’ve done that before and it’s backfired on me. So I learned my lesson. I won’t be thinking about contracts.”
Preseason work for starters: Payton confirmed Wednesday that starters will once again play in preseason games this year for Denver.
That’s the way he operated last year and he said he thinks it’s an important part of preparing for the 17-game regular season.
“We’re going to play our starters in the preseason,” he said. “I think it’s important to build callous. I think it’s important. Obviously, you weigh the reps. So Week 1 it’ll be a certain amount of snaps. Week 2 the same and then we’ll see where we’re at Week 3.”
Denver’s first preseason game is Aug. 11 at Indianapolis and then the team hosts Green Bay (Aug. 18) and Arizona (Aug. 25).

Former strip club owner selling Castle Pines mansion for $8M
Troy Lowrie, the Denver entrepreneur who built and then sold a portfolio of strip clubs across six states, is selling his Castle Pines mansion because he says the house deserves an owner who will be there full time.
Lowrie and his wife, Tenicia, are asking $7.8 million for the 11,147-square-foot home, which overlooks the 12th hole of Castle Pines Golf Club. The couple bought the property in 2022 for $6.3 million after selling their longtime Golden mansion for $6.4 million.
Jerome and Mary Kern built the home in 2008. Jerome Kern, who died in 2024, was a telecommunications attorney and philanthropist widely credited with rescuing the Colorado Symphony from bankruptcy in 2011.
The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home was designed by BOSS Architecture and Semple Brown Design and named Home of the Year by Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazine in 2012. It has a Castle Rock address because it’s in an incorporated part of Douglas County, just outside Castle Pines limits.
The Lowries weren’t in the market when they stumbled on it.
“We had already bought land in Sedalia and were planning to build,” Troy Lowrie said.
But then they walked through Albion Place. “It’s impossible to build something like this now. The concrete alone would cost at least $3 million,” he said.
Lowrie said the grounds hooked him, especially the year-round heated pools, the glass-walled garden studio and tea house, the koi pond with cascading waterfalls, fire features, and mature 250-foot pine trees on the 1.11-acre lot.
“You feel like you’re in the mountains,” he said.
The home blends centuries-old materials with a modern aesthetic. A 16th-century granite fireplace mantel anchors one room; a 17th-century marble mantel anchors another. Walls of glass throughout dissolve the boundary between inside and out, and a dramatic gallery-style entry opens to soaring ceilings.
After moving in, the Lowries put their own stamp on the home.
Tenicia Lowrie overhauled the kitchen, adding a pizza oven, a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a larger range and a warming oven.
She also updated her bathroom in the primary suite. Step 1: removing an empty fish tank from the shower.
“It looked like a hospital, not a home,” Tenicia Lowrie said. She converted it into a spa-inspired bath, with lighting that mimics falling raindrops.
They added a massage table to the tea house, already a meditative retreat.
Troy Lowrie said there’s room downstairs to add a golf simulator — though he admits he’s not much of a golfer. He plays pickleball and tennis.
“This house probably should belong to someone who plays golf,” he said.
The primary suite is a particular favorite. In addition to double baths and walk-in closets, it includes a sitting area with a television and couch — something Troy Lowrie was initially skeptical about.
“Now I couldn’t live without it,” he said.
The suite also has a small kitchen, and when they are home, the couple admits they often spend most of their time there. Tenicia Lowrie said she already knows she’ll miss her walk-in closet.
The retired couple plan to stay in Florida full time. Tenicia Lowrie is a co-founder of Lucy Sky Cannabis Boutique, a retail cannabis shop.
They have been splitting their time between Colorado and Florida, and if they could, Tenicia Lowrie said they would take their house with them.
During one of their extended absences, a bear got into the koi pond and ate all the fish.
“We feel like we’re cheating the house by only being here four months out of the year,” Troy Lowrie said. “It deserves a full-time caretaker.”
Listing agent Christine Malara with Compass-Denver said the home in the gated community likely will appeal to an executive or an athlete. Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix owns a home nearby.
Although the home feels secluded, it sits near Interstate 25. Denver Tech Center is about 15 minutes away, Dove Valley is 24 minutes, and Denver International Airport is 35 minutes away.

Mitchell Fraboni will be the Bronco long snapper in 2026
For the last four seasons, Mitch Fraboni has been the Bronco long snapper (he was the LS for part of 2022). Long snappers are critical, but forgotten parts of every football team. Like offensive linemen, they only get noticed if they screw up.
Mitch is not only a competent long snapper, but he is also a decent tackler, getting anywhere from four to six tackles on punt coverage every season. Mitch had four tackles (3.5) last season on 75 punts – only 29 of which were returned. The leader on punt tackles for the Denver Broncos last season was JL Skinner with 5.5.
Position: LS | 6-2, 223lb (188cm, 101kg)
Admittedly only the gunners and the long snapper can be downfield before the punt is away, but Mitch is still an asset as a tackler on punt coverage.
