Broncos’ defensive injury questions growing as Tennessee opener draws near

The Broncos have more than one injury question on their defense as Sunday’s season-opener approaches.

Inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw didn’t participate for the second straight practice day due to a quad injury he’s been dealing with on and off since April.

Elsewhere, defensive tackle Malcolm Roach (calf) and Dondrea Tillman (hamstring) each appeared on the injury report as limited participants Thursday.

Roach left practice during the portion of practice open to reporters, while Tillman participated during that period. It’s unclear if Tillman left practice later in the proceedings.

Either way, all three are regular parts of the Broncos’ defensive plan, Greenlaw as a starter and Roach and Tillman as key rotational pieces in the front seven.
