The Denver Broncos delivered a bit of sad news on Tuesday evening as safety David Bruton Jr. has been placed on injured reserve. We talked at length this week about how critical Bruton has been to this team, and how his absence affects not just the Broncos’ defensive rotation, but also the special teams.
As much as any other player, Bruton is an absolutely critical piece of the puzzle for the Broncos on special teams.
He’s made some huge plays defensively this year and, pardon me for being so bold, I believe he’s been their best safety in coverage as well.
