ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Thursday night’s preseason finale for the Denver Broncos is largely reserved for the young and some of the more restless on the team’s roster, a game coach Gary Kubiak has said “where we’ll play a lot of young guys.’’
To that end virtually all of the team starters, most of the team’s most proven players, will never leave the sideline. That is, except their leading rusher from 2015’s Super Bowl season as Ronnie Hillman won’t get the evening off. No, he is in the vocational fight of his NFL career, a guy who just may not have a chair when the music stops as rosters league-wide go to 53 players by Saturday afternoon.
