AFC West Notes: Von Miller, Broncos, Chargers

Von Miller

Broncos GM John Elway surprisingly did not rule out the possibility of trading OLB Von Miller during his end-of-season press conference.

โ€œI think weโ€™re going to visit all that,โ€ Elway said, via BroncosWire. โ€œI think we have to look at all the possibilities and get an evaluation of that.โ€

Elway said he believes Miller had a good season for them, but can still play better.

โ€œWeโ€™re trying to evaluate what went on and then find solutions,โ€ Elway said. โ€œOne of the solutions is that weโ€™re going to need our core guys to play better. Von, he had a good year this year.

โ€œCan Von play better? Yeah, I think Von can play better. Thatโ€™s part of the new thing when that comes in with the next coach.โ€

Broncos

  • According to Mike Klis,ย Broncos assistant coaches are drawing some interest including OL coach Sean Kugler and LB coach Reggie Herring.
  • However, both of them are under contract with the Broncos through 2019 and the team’s new head coach will have first dibs on keeping them.

Chargers

  • Chargers DT Brandon Mebane remains away from the team because of his infant daughter’s illness and the team is unsure if he’ll be available on Sunday. (Jeff Miller)
  • The Chargers officially ruled outย LB Jatavis Brown (ankle) for their Wildcard game and have NT Brandon Mebane (not injury related) down as doubtful and RBย Austin Ekeler (groin) as questionable.
  • Ekeler was a limited participant in practice on Friday but he is expected to play on Sunday.
