Offensive line injuries are starting to pile up for the Denver Broncos.
In addition to guard Netane Muti (knee), the Broncos also had two centers sit out Tuesday’s practice.
Fifth-round draft pick Luke Wattenberg (ankle) was joined on the sideline by third-year center Lloyd Cushenberry on Tuesday. After practice, coach Nathaniel Hackett said it was just a rest day for Cushenberry (but the center was seen wearing a sleeve on his right knee/leg).
Fortunately for the Broncos, they have a third option, and he’s the most experienced player among the team’s center candidates.
Graham Glasgow is listed as a guard on Denver’s depth chart, but he has starting experience at center from his time with the Detroit Lions. Glasgow has started 78 games in his career, including a full season at center with the Lions in 2018.
With Dalton Risner and Quinn Meinerz starting at the two guard spots, Glasgow is the team’s top backup swing guard/center, and he was called on at center Tuesday. He’s more than capable of handling pivot duties in a pinch.
