With potentially all three Week 1 starters sidelined, the Broncos defensive line will look a lot different this Sunday.
Defensive end Jurrell Casey suffered a season-ending biceps injury in Week 3, nose tackle Mike Purcell had a season-ending foot injury in Week 7 and coach Vic Fangio said Friday that end Shelby Harris, who’s been on the COVID/Restricted list since Wednesday, has “below a 50/50” chance to be available in Atlanta.
That new-look line means extended opportunities for defensive ends Dre’Mont Jones and DeMarcus Walker, both of whom were hurt in Week 2 and returned in Week 7 off injured reserve.
