How will the Broncos replace Eyioma Uwazurike’s spot on the roster?

Yesterday, we learned that the NFL had suspended second-year defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike indefinitely for betting on NFL games. The former fourth-round selection was expected to compete for a starting job during training camp and at least be a rotational player for them along their defensive line. Now with him suspended for at least 12 months, the Broncos' depth along the defensive line has taken a hit, and it was not that great to begin with. On top of all that, veteran defensive lineman Mike Purcell will start training camp on the NFI as he continues to rehab from offseason surgery.
