Broncos feeling the impact of underrated defensive star being out injured

One of the most underrated aspects of the Denver Broncos' 2024 season was the strength of their defensive line, which was evident in their rotations. So far through two games, Denver has four defensive linemen who have played between 20% and 65% of the defensive snaps, but it still feels as though something is missing on the line.

Malcolm Roach was a major developmental win for the Broncos last year, quickly becoming one of Denver's best defensive linemen and a key piece to the NFL's best defense. He set a career high in sacks, quarterback hits, games played, tackles, and multiple other categories.
