US EditionBroncos' Defense Takes a Hit: Greenlaw and Roach Ruled Out for Opener Against Titans
Dre Greenlaw and Malcolm Roach are sidelined for the Broncos' opener due to quad and calf injuries, prompting reliance on bench depth and tactical adjustments.
- On Friday, Denver ruled out inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw and defensive tackle Malcolm Roach for Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans at Empower Field at Mile High.
- After an earlier quad problem, Dre Greenlaw limped during a July 31 drill, while Malcolm Roach left Thursday's practice with a calf issue; earlier this week, Sean Payton said they are cautious with Greenlaw's workload.
- Justin Strnad is expected to start in Greenlaw's place, while Eyioma Uwazurike and Jordan Jackson will pick up Roach's snaps on Sunday; tight end Nate Adkins is also ruled out after recent ankle surgery.
- With two starters out, the Broncos must adjust personnel and schemes to contain Derrick Henry, while the Tennessee Titans enter near full strength with no players ruled out.
- If Roach needs several weeks, the Broncos could place him on injured reserve Saturday, and Greenlaw's Dec. 12 return last season highlights his availability concerns.
