Golden Nuggets: Can’t wait to see this defense in action

“With neither Deommodore Lenoir (unknown) nor Renardo Green (hamstring), the team’s presumptive starters at cornerback, present at practice, Dallis Flowers repped with the same unit as All-Pro talents Fred Warner and Nick Bosa a day removed from his impressive 1-on-1 rep that drew praise from defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Lenoir. A low-profile offseason signing, Flowers, 27, displayed what Saleh called “perfect technique” to lock up Watkins and secure an interception.

A lack of cornerback depth in the wake of Charvarius Ward’s offseason departure leaves room for a guy like Flowers, who appeared in 23 games and made five starts through three seasons with the Colts, to add value.
