Broncos right tackle Ja’Wuan James sustained a torn Achilles tendon Tuesday while training at an off-site facility in the Denver area, a source confirmed.
James was limited to parts of three games in 2019 because of knee issues, opted out of 2020 because of concerns regarding the coronavirus and is now out for 2021.
Broncos’ OT Ja’Wuan James suffered a season-ending torn Achilles working out today away from the team facility, per sources. James’ $10 million salary for the upcoming season now is in jeopardy being that Denver no longer is obligated to pay him with him working out off site.

Broncos’ OT Ja’Wuan James’ contract tolled last year, so he was playing under his 2020 contract this year, which had $10 million guaranteed for skill and injury, and another $10 million in 2021. So it’s a $20 million potential torn Achilles injury today. https://t.co/jj10uOm298
