The season-ending injury to Denver Broncos offensive tackle Ryan Clady hasn’t been easy on anyone. The Broncos had question marks surrounding their offensive line anyway, and losing Clady was — at least on paper — a huge blow for that unit.
Clady’s absence opens the door for change, and it could pave the way for a youth movement on the offensive line.
The new coaching staff in Denver seems to be really open to young players getting on the field, certainly earlier than they would have in the previous regime. Up first is second round rookie Ty Sambrailo, who is apparently going to be taking over Clady’s left tackle spot, at least for now.
