ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos showed how their offense would operate without wide receiver Wes Welker in the win over the Indianapolis Colts.
And while the Broncos continue to show some optimism about the chances of getting Welker back before Week 6 if a new drug policy is put in place -- so much so they cleared a roster spot and are currently carrying 52 players -- their work against the Colts is worth a look for what it all means with, or without, Welker in the lineup.
First, if anyone doubted that the Broncos could simply put Emmanuel Sanders into the offense in place of Eric Decker and roll on, they should put those doubts aside. Decker was second on the team in targets (137), catches (87) and receiving touchdowns (11) last season -- a productive, proven quality option.
