Prior to the start of the 2018 season, the safety position for the Denver Broncos appeared to be one of the strongest, deepest position groups on the team. As is often the unfortunate case in the NFL, however, the team suffered some significant losses due to injury.
The first major loss for the Broncos’ safety unit was special teams ace Jamal Carter, who also figured to have a bigger role with the defense.
The Broncos have also not yet gotten to see Su’a Cravens in regular season action after acquiring him via trade this offseason. He was placed on injured reserve to start the year but is expected to be back for the team’s week nine matchup against the Houston Texans.
