Chaisson will be held out of minicamp this week due to his positive test.

Miller and linebacker Malik Reed were the only two Broncos players who attended the summit over the weekend.

Miller held a virtual summit last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year wanted the summit to be held in Las Vegas so he could “share” his veteran knowledge.

Per The Denver Post, Miller said this year’s summit featured more younger pros than normal. And, ex-Bronco DeMarcus Ware was there again to provide guidance.

9News Broncos insider Mike Klis reported that there were COVID protocols in place at Miller’s summit with players either needing to be vaccinated or test negative for COVID-19.

Both Von Miller and Malik Reed tested negative for COVID-19 on Monday according to Klis.

Here’s who attended this year’s summit in Las Vegas:

• Von Miller (Broncos)
• Solomon Thomas (Raiders)
• Darrius Philon (Raiders)
• K’Lavon Chaisson (Jaguars)
• Rashan Gary (Packers)
