ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The hope for a breakout season by defensive end Randy Gregory in his first with the Denver Broncos hasn't come to fruition.
Gregory, who missed all of the team's offseason work after shoulder surgery, had two sacks and seven quarterback hits in a three-game span before suffering a knee injury in the Broncos’ Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Gregory returned to practice this week, and is expected to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals (4:05 p.m. ET, Fox).
“It’s hard to replace a guy like that,’’ Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said.
