Despite being the highest drafted linebacker in the Vic Fangio era, there should be minimal expectations for Baron Browning's rookie season.

Heck, the talented linebacker needs to find a position first.

Will George Paton take a similar approach to using high picks on outside linebackers much like John Elway did?

There's still hope Von Miller will return for the 2020 season.

Denver's defense is guaranteed to see more games lost by starters than it did last year. How can it cope?

It hasn't been too shabby of a week for Malik Reed.

On top of his second-straight two-sack performance on Sunday, Bradley Chubb had eye-popping praise for Reed on Tuesday.

The Broncos have a chance to get three starters and many role players back for this week's big game against the Chiefs.

As Justin Simmons stated on Wednesday, there is just simply no replacing the type of player Von Miller is.

But the Broncos don't have a choice. They have to find a way to replace the irreplaceable. Here's how they'll do it.

As the regular season dawned, the Broncos were counting on a powerful defense to carry the team and sustain their hopes while a young, evolving offense found its footing. Losing Von Miller could deal a body blow to those hopes.

With no advanced notice, Vic Fangio made Essang Bassey the Broncos' starting nickel cornerback during practice on Wednesday.

The undrafted rookie impressed.

Vic Fangio began Friday's practice by bringing his team together in a huddle. After a minute of Fangio addressing his team, players started to hoot and holler and get hyped for whatever message the coach was delivering.

The defense took that shot of energy and ran with it to start practice. The offense, however, didn't pick up on it one bit as they came out flat, sluggish and out of tune. The energy started to hit the offense as the practice went on.

Not only does Denver’s $122 million allocated to the defense lead the league, but it’s also 33 percent more than the league average of $92 million. That means Vic Fangio’s unit better be darn good.
