Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph understands the reality of the team’s depth at outside linebacker.
Second-year edge rusher Nik Bonitto will not play in Saturday’s game against the Detroit Lions due to a knee injury. While Baron Browning is fully healthy, outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper (ankle) was limited at practice this week, and rookie inside linebacker Drew Sanders, who has spent some time on the edge in recent weeks, is still getting up to speed.
Not to mention, Ronnie Perkins was waived on Thursday after playing in five games.
Joseph thinks the Broncos have enough at outside linebacker.
