When the Denver Broncos lost outside linebacker Bradley Chubb to a season-ending ACL injury, it was absolutely devastating.
Not only because the Broncos aren't quite good enough everywhere else on the roster to compensate for losing a young star like Chubb, but because Chubb is one of the foundation pieces for this roster moving forward.
As terrible as losing a player of this caliber is, injuries always open the door for other playmakers to earn their stripes, and the Broncos had opportunities waiting for rookies Justin Hollins and Malik Reed as well as free agent Jeremiah Attaochu, who came in off the street free agent heap.
