Broncos' Callahan out at least 4 more weeks after latest foot procedure

The wait continues for one of the Denver Broncos' big offseason acquisitions.

Cornerback Bryce Callahan, who signed a three-year, $21-million deal with Denver in the offseason, underwent a non-surgical procedure on his surgically repaired left foot that will sideline him for at least four-to-six more weeks, head coach Vic Fangio told reporters on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old Callahan has yet to take the field for his new team.

While with the Chicago Bears last year, Callahan missed the final three games of the regular season and then the playoffs after breaking the same foot. The slot corner's recovery was apparently going according to plan until the foot was stepped on during a Broncos practice on July 27, according to Mike Klis of 9News.

Callahan, a fifth-year pro, broke out last year by locking down the slot for a dominant Bears defense. He ranked as the ninth-best corner of the campaign and the second-best free-agent corner of this past offseason by Pro Football Focus.

For the 2018 season, Callahan allowed a stingy 80.5 passer rating when being thrown at and gave up just 0.69 receiving yards per coverage snap in the slot - tops among all defensive backs who played at least 200 such snaps, according to PFF.
