  • Denver Broncos rookie LT Garett Bolles was back at practice Wednesday, just days after being carted from the field in tears and the team fearing a broken ankle.
  • Bolles should step back into the starting LT spot and keep backup Donald Stephenson on the bench. In 2016, Stephenson earned a disastrous overall PFF grade of 31.0, surrendering 50 total pressures over the year and being flagged 12 times for penalties.
  • Bolles through the majority of two games has allowed just one sack and one hurry while flashing brute power in the run game. With Denver already struggling on the right side of the line, this is great news for the team and QB Trevor Siemian.
