The Denver Broncos will be down a couple of starters in this game, with the biggest name being wide receiver K.J. Hamler. Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett noted on Friday that this is part of maintenance for the young receiver as he works back from a double hip/knee injury last season.
“It’s part of the maintenance,” Hackett said. “We want to be sure that we get him to as many games as we possibly can.”
They want to avoid pushing Hamler too hard and risk losing him again for an extended period of time.
“Yes,” Hackett continued.
