ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With Denver Broncos outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware officially out of this Sunday’s game in Cleveland because of a back injury, Shaquil Barrett will just have to keep doing what he’s done for the Broncos thus far.
And that is squeeze every ounce of opportunity out of the chances he’s been given to show what he can do. Barrett will start in Ware’s outside linebacker spot, a long way from being a player who spent all but one week of the 2014 season on the Broncos’ practice squad.
Barrett also saw the team used a first-round pick on Shane Ray, who happens to play the same position.
