What are they saying about the Denver Broncos heading into week 4?

It’s been a rough first month of the season for the Denver Broncos.

They have literally lost all of their top players on both sides of the ball to injury. Some are season-ending while some, including Drew Lock’s shoulder injury, are ones that will keep them our for just a short period of time.

Here’s a better analysis of what the team has dealt with through just three games of the 2020 season:

To recap Broncos injuries thus far:

QB1: out indefinitely
RB1b: out indefinitely
WR1: IR
RT1: opt out
RT2: IR
DE1: IR
DE3: out indefinitely
DE4: IR
OLB1: IR
ILB2: IR
ILB4: IR
CB1: IR (to return)
CB4: out indefinitely

Yep, that’s: Drew Lock, Phillip Lindsay, Courtland Sutton, Ja’Wuan James, Elijah Wilkinson, Dre’Mont Jones, DeMarcus Walker, Jurrell Casey, Von Miller, Justin Strnad, Austin Calitro, Mark Barron, A.J. Bouye, and Davontae Harris. All injured.

The Broncos are already a young team. Take away these key pieces and they’re almost completely just very inexperienced. Oh, and they play on Thursday Night Football this week against the New York Jets.

With Brett Rypien at quarterback.

It’s not an excuse; it’s just a reality. They have to do their best to get a win with what they’ve got.

Let’s see what some of the popular media outlets have to say about this team heading into week 4.
