Five Denver Broncos Players to Watch vs. Chicago
By Tylor Walden
Kasim Edebali- Outside Linebacker/Edge Rusher
With injuries to Shane Ray and Shaquil Barrett, Kasim Edebali got some solid work in training camp. With the news of Von Miller sitting this game out, Edebali should get the start at outside linebacker.
The Denver Broncos acquired Edebali via free agency after his time with the New Orleans Saints was up. He was brought up to be a special teams guy and occasionally spell one of the linebackers if rest was needed.
Next: Which Players will benefit from Von Miller Sitting out Preseason Opener?
It seems as if Edebali will get a big chance here to show what he has got. With injuries to the outside linebackers, it will be critical to see what the rest of them have. With the veteran presence of Edebali, he should fit in quite nicely.
If Kasim Edebali can be a solid contributor in the absence of the two key linebackers, I will feel very confident going into the next few games.
