The Broncos are going to have to make some tough personnel decisions on this side of the ball but with the amount of time they will be spending in nickel defense and even the 4-2-5 alignment, it doesn’t make sense for them to hoard linebackers on the active roster.

The most significant roster casualties here would be Zaire Anderson and Keishawn Bierria, and the latter can likely be added to the practice squad later.

The Broncos will have some safeties that can step in and play ‘linebacker’ for them.
