Broncos S Brandon Jones evolves from ‘a little bit of unknown’ to making impact felt
New York TimesAs the end of training camp neared for the Broncos and their new prized new safety remained a spectator, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph conceded he had concerns about Brandon Jones’ absence. “That’s always a concern because playing football and being in the meeting room is different,” Joseph said in late August, just as Jones was nearing the end of his rehab. I took the difficult route on that and decided to just drain myself of all of my energy going back and forth throughout the field.” In Sunday’s 10-9 win against the Jets, Jones forced a fumble on the game’s third play when he landed a textbook tackle on wide receiver Garrett Wilson that jarred the ball loose. “I’m pleased because there’s a little bit of unknown, just not having him,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said.
