Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will not be on the field Thursday when the team opens training camp at its Dove Valley complex. Thomas was excused until Monday by the Broncos' coaching staff to attend funeral services for his grandmother in Georgia. The Broncos Pro Bowl wide receiver did attend a team meeting Wednesday, shortly after he reported and took his arrival physical, as did the Broncos' other players. On a morning radio appearance, Broncos head coach John Fox said Thomas "is where he needs to be, (our) prayers are with him." Thomas has had back-to-back 90-catch, 1,400-yard seasons with Peyton Manning at quarterback, and the Broncos are currently negotiating a long-term deal with Thomas' representatives. Thomas is expected to return for practice Monday.
