Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw (quad) sidelined at OTAs
After straining his quad while working out this spring, Denver Broncos inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been sidelined at organized team activities this week, according to the Denver Post's Luca Evans.
Despite not participating in the on-field work, Greenlaw is "still at Denver's facility this week and is around the team," according to Evans. Broncos coach Sean Payton indicated earlier this month that Greenlaw is expected to return in time for training camp later this summer.

'He's on schedule," Payton said of Greenlaw's recovery. "I saw the early reports, and you don't know how tempted I get sometimes… But I showed great restraint. He's doing well and will be a full participant in training camp. All of that's doing great, but I refrained.'
Greenlaw, 28, signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with Denver in March. He spent the first six years of his career with the San Francisco 49ers, totaling 455 tackles, 3.5 sacks, three interceptions (including a pick-six), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 64 career games (56 starts).
Once healthy, Greenlaw is projected to serve as the Broncos' top inside linebacker in 2025.

Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas slams ‘sick' heckler for shouting disparaging, racial comments during meet
Gabby Thomas confronted a heckler online after a man posted multiple videos on social media that showed him shouting disparaging remarks, including racial comments, directed at the three-time Olympic gold medalist at a recent track event. He claimed the heckling helped him win an online wager. Thomas competed at a Grand Slam Track event in Philadelphia over the weekend, finishing second in the 200-meter sprint and fourth in the 100-meter sprint. But her performance was seemingly overshadowed by the chaos that unfolded at the track. A man on X posted a video that appeared to show him in the stands near the starting line shouting several messages at Thomas. "Don't choke, Gabby, like you did yesterday," he says in the video he posted online. "You a choke artist. You going down, Gabby." The man in the video can also be heard criticizing Thomas for being engaged to a "White guy." He posted the video on X, claiming, "I made Gabby lose by heckling her. And it made my parlay win." He also posted a screenshot of a $1,000 wager placed on FanDuel. "This grown man followed me around the track as I took pictures and signed autographs for fans (mostly children) shouting personal insults- anybody who enables him online is gross," she said in response to the man's post. Thomas responded to other users on social media claiming the man "pulled out his phone to harass and record me." "It's fine he's just sick. But that's just my opinion, let it go," she added in the same post. The man posted another video and other posts countering Thomas' claims. In the video, Thomas appears to respond to him by asking, "What are you doing here?" Thomas then walks away smiling before making a heart gesture with her hands. Grand Slam Track released a statement to Front Office Sports after those events announcing it was investigating the heckler for "reprehensible behavior." "Grand Slam Track is conducting a full investigation into the reprehensible behavior captured on video," spokesperson Callum Squires said in a statement. "We are working to identify the individual involved and will take appropriate action as necessary. We will implement additional safeguards to help prevent incidents like this in the future. Let us be clear, despicable behavior like this will not be tolerated." FanDuel also told ESPN the bettor has been banned from using its platform. "FanDuel condemns in the strongest terms abusive behavior directed towards athletes," a spokesperson told the outlet. "Threatening or harassing athletes is unacceptable and has no place in sports. This customer is no longer able to wager with FanDuel." Despite the interaction, Thomas posted another message on X thanking her supporters. "Grateful beyond words for the love and support!! Especially this week. My supporters remind me why I keep showing up. Thank you, truly." Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Nebraska is the latest state to ban transgender students from girls' sports
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen signed into law Wednesday a measure banning transgender students from girls' sports, making the state the latest to keep transgender athletes from competing on women's and girls' teams. Pillen signed the law flanked by dozens of lawmakers, women athletes and other advocates — including former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, who has made a name for herself as a vocal advocate of banning transgender athletes from women's sports. The measure passed by the Nebraska Legislature last week broke a filibuster by a single vote cast along party lines. It was pared down from its initial form, which also sought to bar transgender students from using bathrooms and locker rooms corresponding with their gender identity. Sponsors agreed to drop the bathroom and locker room ban when one Republican — Omaha Sen. Merv Riepe — declared he would vote against it otherwise. The measure was first introduced in 2023 by then-freshman Sen. Kathleen Kauth, but failed to advance as lawmakers angrily argued over Kauth's other bill that sought to bar gender-affirming care for transgender minors under the age of 19. An amended version that banned gender-affirming surgery — but not all gender-affirming care — for minors later passed and was enacted that year. On Wednesday, Kauth promised to revive her bathroom and locker room ban next year, reiterating her rejection that people can determine their own gender. 'Men are men and women are women,' she said, and urged voters in Riepe's district to pressure him to support it. Republicans behind the sports ban say it protects women and girls and their ability to fairly compete in sports. Opponents say with so few transgender students seeking to participate in sports, the measure is a solution in search of a problem. Fewer than 10 transgender students have applied to participate in middle school and high school sports in the state since 2018, the Nebraska School Activities Association said Wednesday. At least 24 other states have adopted similar bans. President Donald Trump also signed an executive order this year intended to dictate which sports competitions transgender athletes can enter and has battled in court with Maine over that state's allowing transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports. The American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska denounced the measure. ACLU Nebraska Executive Director Mindy Rush Chipman said the ban 'slams the door shut' for some transgender students to fully participate in their school communities. 'This ban will only create problems, not solve any,' Rush Chipman said, adding that 'the constant targeting of LGBTQ+ Nebraskans must stop.'
