Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said there is no more pressure on him to handle receiver Brandon Marshall's minicamp holdout because of the Jay Cutler fiasco earlier this year, but it certainly can't be a happy topic for McDaniels as he tries to get his team ready before training camp.
Marshall wasn't at practice Friday, and McDaniels' tone was that the Broncos would like to have him, but they would play without him if they have to.
One of McDaniels' biggest challenges, other than seeing if the two sides can come to a mutual understanding so Marshall can get back to practice, will be making sure the team doesn't become distracted by the issue, however long it lasts. He said it wasn't a distraction on Friday.
"We didn't work any less hard today than we worked the prior 15 practices," McDaniels said.
