"Brandon Marshall's behavior during practice Wednesday morning and his comments afterward make two things clear: The disgruntled wide receiver still wants out of Denver, and he is not ready to play in a game.
In a candid interview after practice, Marshall admitted he has "trust issues" and is "not being close at all" to grasping the Broncos' offensive playbook.
The result is that the rift between the Broncos and their star wideout that began in the spring appears to be growing wider as the regular season draws closer.
Marshall, the Broncos' most productive receiver each of the past two years and a starter in the Pro Bowl last season, did not take any repetitions with the first- or second-team offense Wednesday, working solely with the scout team.
Marshall, who wore a red No. 84 scout-team jersey to simulate Seattle wide receiver T.J. Houshmand-zadeh, often stood with defensive or special-teams players, watching quietly as other receivers, from Eddie Royal and Jabar Gaffney to Chad Jackson and Matthew Willis, lined up in offensive sets. Marshall was the first player to leave the field when the 2 1/2-hour practice concluded."
