In the NFL, sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. For the Denver Broncos, that means looking to the outside for more players to adapt to the ‘next man up’ mentality.
The Broncos’ injured reserve list is starting to look like a pretty good starting lineup, or at least a really good flag football team with Jordan Taylor at the quarterback position. The have had to adapt to injuries since the beginning of training camp and all the way through week 14 of the regular season.
That’s not news to any NFL team, but the Broncos’ strategy has typically been to promote players from within, at least bringing guys up to the active roster who have played preseason games with the team or worked with the team for a number of weeks just in practice.
