AP source: Denver OT Ja’Wuan James tears Achilles off-site

By ARNIE STAPLETON - AP Pro Football Writer

A person with knowledge of the injury tells The Associated Press that Broncos right tackle Ja’Wuan James sustained a season-ending torn Achilles while working out away from the team facility Tuesday. James has only played a handful of snaps since signing a four-year, $51 million deal with the Broncos in 2019. He missed most of that season with a balky knee and opted out of last season over coronavirus concerns. James’ $10 million salary is in jeopardy because his injury occurred away from the team’s facilities. James was among hundreds of NFL players boycotting offseason work at team facilities this spring.
