Though injured, safeties Bruton and Bolden still contributing
Safeties David Bruton Jr. and Omar Bolden may be on IR, but their presence with the team for the entire week leading up to the Super Bowl has helped their group of defensive backs.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Two years ago when the Broncos left Denver to begin their preparation for Super Bowl XLVIII, they were missing a significant part of the team.
They had all the players who would appear during the game, but they did not take those on injured reserve (like Chris Harris Jr. and Von Miller, who were recovering from torn ACLs), opting to have them come out on the Thursday before the game.
"I know how it felt to be left," Harris said. "It kind of felt like none of my plays mattered that year."
