The Dolphins hung 36 points on the Broncos on Sunday, which wasn’t enough for the Broncos to lose the game but was enough to know that the Broncos defense has to be better if they want to make a deep playoff run this season.
It looks like they’ll have some help getting better in the near future. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that linebacker Danny Trevathan is expected back at practice this week and that he hopes to be back in the lineup when eligible to return from injured reserve on December 14.
Trevathan suffered a fracture near his kneecap in the team’s Week Six game against the Jets. That was just his second appearance of the regular season as Trevathan also fractured his leg during training camp, which kept him out of the first three games of the season.
Trevathan started every game for the Broncos last season and they could use him back in the mix with Nate Irving out of the picture.
