Notes
Paul Klee, of the Colorado Springs Gazette, believes the primary reason free-agent RB Willis McGahee (knee, Broncos) is no longer a Denver Broncos roster member is because of his health status. Broncos head coach John Fox said McGahee's decision to skip voluntary minicamp had nothing to do with the veteran's release.
Denver Broncos head coach Mike Fox said the reason RB Willis McGahee was released had nothing to do with the veteran's decision to skip voluntary organized team activities (OTAs), but the team feels he was not healthy, according to sources. He saw only limited carries during the team's mandatory minicamp, and the team has plenty of depth with RBs Ronnie Hillman, Knowshon Moreno and rookie Montee Ball in the mix.

Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee is present for the team's minicamp on Tuesday, June 11. There was never really much doubt, but McGahee's tenuous roster spot and his absence from OTAs for personal reasons may have given the appearance that there was. Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman appear to be part of the new wave and make McGahee not worth much fantasy speculation, however.

Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee (knee) is expected to attend the team's mandatory minicamp next week. McGahee has been absent from organized team activities not due to his contract but because he's dealing with personal matters. McGahee has been taking part in offseason conditioning after tearing a ligament in his right knee in November of last season.
Fantasy Impact: McGahee might not have a roster spot much long unless he shows a lot in upcoming workouts.
