Overview
- Denver formally ruled the linebacker out for Sunday's opener against the Titans with a thigh designation.
- He practiced Monday, then sat out the rest of the week, as Sean Payton refused to elaborate on whether the issue was an aggravation.
- Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said the team has depth at inside linebacker, with Justin Strnad expected to see extra snaps alongside Alex Singleton.
- Greenlaw’s recent history includes a Super Bowl LVIII Achilles tear, a late‑2024 calf injury, and a July 31 quad issue that sidelined him for the entire preseason.
- The Broncos also ruled out defensive tackle Malcolm Roach with a calf injury, and tight end Nate Adkins is not expected to play as he rehabs ankle surgery.
