66 Jared Veldheer T

Veldheer (ankle) returned to practice Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Veldheer missed some of the team's offseason activities while recovering from an ankle injury but it seems like the ankle issue is now in the rearview mirror. The nine-year veteran started 13 games for the Cardinals last season and figures to be a key contributor during his first season in Denver.

Veldheer (ankle) will be ready for training camp according to head coach Vance Joseph, Ryan O'Halloran of the Denver Post reports.

Veldheer has missed time with an ankle injury since joining the Broncos in March. Once he returns to the field, Veldheer is expected to compete for the starting role at right guard.

Veldheer (ankle) didn't participate in OTAs on Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

The Broncos will need to further wait to see how their March trade acquisition fares. Veldheer is projected to start at right tackle once he's healthy.

Veldheer was traded from the Cardinals to the Broncos in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Veldheer has been in Arizona for the duration of his eight-year career, starting in every game he's played since 2011. Now with Denver, Veldheer will likely man the right tackle position opposite Garett Bolles.

Veldheer (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Veldheer suffered a cracked ankle in Sunday's win over the Titans in what was another costly injury to the Cardinals' offensive line. With Veldheer now officially done for the rest of the season, Arizona will have to use rookie Will Holden at left tackle.
