Injuries are now starting to make the 2021 Broncos feel like the 2020 Broncos with second team players starting in multiple spots.
The offensive line suffered injuries to Dalton Risner (63 percent) and Graham Glasgow (57 percent) meaning that Netane Muti (43 percent) and Quinn Meinerz (37 percent) saw significant action on offense. For Meinerz this was his first taste of regular season offensive snaps. Garett Bolles, Bobby Massie and Lloyd Cushenberry III all played every offensive snap as did Teddy Bridgewater.
Noah Fant played a season high 87 percent of the offensive snaps with Albert Okweugbunam getting 43 percent and Eric Saubert 36 percent.
