AFC West Notes: Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos HC Vic Fangio says the team has a lot of flexibility with DB Kareem Jackson and can move him around from slot corner to safety.  

โ€œIt gives us a lot of options,โ€ Fangio said via the Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala. โ€œJust from week to week we might be able to line him up where we feel he best fits to defend the team weโ€™re playing. Heโ€™s smart enough to learn all the different positions. Heโ€™s proven it in games and on tape that he can execute the positions, not just know what to do, but play them competitively and at a high level. Itโ€™s a big advantage and it helps when youโ€™re looking at other players that you have guys that can move around.โ€

  • Broncos second-year WR Courtland Sutton said he’s ready to continue being the team’s No. 1 receiver as Emmanuel Sanders works back from a torn Achilles: โ€œThe No. 1 role, you canโ€™t go into a game and have one or two catches. You have to go into a game and be that guy. I accept that role.โ€ (Pro Football Talk)
  • Free-agent addition CB Bryce Callahan, who primarily played nickel corner in Chicago, could also mean more time playing outside corner for Chris Harris.
