Michael Schofield planning to prove his worth to Broncos in first career start

It's like deja vu for Broncos tackle Michael Schofield. One man's injury is another man's opportunity. And Schofield is the benefactor.

Coach Gary Kubiak announced Friday that starting left tackle Ty Sambrailo would be out Sunday versus Minnesota with a shoulder injury. The blowback effects two spots on the offensive line with Kubiak moving starting right tackle Ryan Harris to left tackle and the 6-foot-6, 301-pound Schofield getting the start at right tackle.
