Broncos outside linebacker Randy Gregory (shoulder), offensive lineman Billy Turner (knee) and wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee) remain on the non football injury list, and coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wednesday that offensive lineman Tom Compton (back) will join them on the PUP list.

Wilson’s in a new city with a new team learning a new offense, but he’s handled the situation well. He was asked Wednesday if his head was spinning from the transition.
