Denver Broncos: Rookies being asked to step up on defensive line

The Denver Broncos are bleeding on the defensive line heading into Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

After placing defensive end Derek Wolfe on injured reserve two weeks ago, the Broncos have seen a variety of injuries strike the defensive line, unfortunately to the majority of the players they have left with any sort of experience.

Adam Gotsis is out with a knee injury. DeMarcus Walker and Dre'Mont Jones are both out with ankle injuries.

In case you're not keeping count, that's four of the Broncos' top defensive linemen out either for the remainder of the season or at least against the Kansas City Chiefs.
