If Browning does start the season the PUP list as expected, he would miss at least the first 6 weeks of the regular season.
Browning was a 3rd round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and has already earned a significant role with the Broncos. He’s started 17 games over the past 2 seasons. He’s also recorded 82 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 1 interception.
Another former Buckeye could be in line to earn more reps as Denver looks to replace Browning on the depth chart. Jonathan Cooper, a 7th round pick out of Ohio State in 2021, started 9 games for the Broncos last season.
