A Denver Broncos defense hoping to take a step forward this season might have taken a step back before Game 1.
According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Broncos linebacker Von Miller suffered a serious ankle injury at Tuesday's practice that puts his 2020 season in jeopardy. Rapoport posted from his verified Twitter account: "(Miller's) undergoing an MRI and more will be known tomorrow. But based on the initial read, it's not good."
Miller was expected to be a focal point of a defensive unit looking to improve in the second year of coach Vic Fangio's defense.
Miller, the Super Bowl 50 Most Valuable Player, tore his ACL in 2013.
