ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have signed wide receiver Eric Decker a day before rookies are scheduled to report to camp.

That leaves first-round picks Demaryius Thomas and Tim Tebow, along with second-round selection Zane Beadles, as the team’s only unsigned rookies.

A third-round pick out of the University of Minnesota, Decker has spent most of his time this offseason working on individual drills due to a foot ligament injury. He suffered the injury in a game against Ohio State last October, tearing the ligament that holds the first two toes in place.

Decker departed as the Gophers’ all-time leader in receptions (227) and yards receiving (3,119).

The Broncos also released linebacker Bruce Davis and offensive lineman Chris Marinelli.
