Denver Broncos: Austin Schlottmann to get first start vs. Texans

The Denver Broncos have had a revolving door on basically the entire offensive line for the past five years, so having another player rotate into the starting lineup should be no big deal.

As a matter of fact, it's exciting to see young players getting opportunities in the lineup like Elijah Wilkinson at right tackle and now Austin Schlottmann at right guard, although nobody likes injuries and no one wants to see players like Ja'Wuan James or Ron Leary sidelined.

With that said, if Leary is not in the team's plans beyond this season, it's good that the Broncos will get a look at Austin Schlottmann, who made the practice squad as an undrafted rookie in 2018 out of TCU and made the 53-man roster this year after a strong camp and preseason.
