ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – With the loss of defensive end Derek Wolfe for the first four games of the season due to suspension, Denver’s front seven doesn’t have the opportunity to slow down – the defensive line will have to step up in his absence.
“The train stops for nobody,” as defensive end Malik Jackson put it.
In the eyes of the Broncos’ linemen, Jackson’s sentiment couldn’t be truer.
In Wolfe’s place, defensive end Antonio Smith has risen to the No. 1 spot on the Broncos’ depth chart as they ready to host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
