In the opening hours of free agency, the Broncos agreed to terms with Ronald Darby, their top veteran cornerback target, on a three-year, $30 million contract.
Though he has yet to intercept a pass, the Broncos may be getting the kind of play they envisioned from Darby after he missed four games with a hamstring injury. Darby’s play against Philadelphia on Sunday will be particularly important because nickel back Bryce Callahan (knee) is on injured reserve and rookie Pat Surtain II (knee) hasn’t practiced this week.
“(Darby has) played better the last two weeks,” coach Vic Fangio said.
