The Denver Broncos will officially be without up-and-coming pass rusher Bradley Chubb for the start of the team's offseason activities, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Nonetheless, Fangio still expects Chubb to immediately return to form after ultimately returning to the Broncos active roster.
“He's there every day with a great attitude and a great work ethic, and I'll be shocked if he's not as good as new when you guys see him again,” Fangio said at the most recent installment of the NFL Scouting Combine, via the team's official website.
Of course, the Broncos are looking to continue to pair Chubb with superstar pass rusher Von Miller, who serves as the anchor of the team's defensive core.
“You won't see him in the offseason other than working off to the side,” Fangio added, via the team's official website. “I don't think he'll partake in any football stuff in OTAs. You won't see him football-wise until training camp.”
The Broncos originally selected Chubb in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of North Carolina State. He then set a franchise rookie record with 12 sacks back in 2018 and, as a result, entered this past season ready to break out on a league-wide stage. However, Chubb managed to produce just a single sack in 2019 and unfortunately tore his ACL during the Broncos' Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Broncos will be forced to compete with the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs in the always dangerous AFC West while Denver will need all the help it can get — and in a hurry.
