DE AJ Epenesa. With Von Miller set to miss the next four games due to an NFL suspension for violating the league's code of conduct, the focus is on the fifth-year player.

He spent the last four seasons in Buffalo, where he averaged more than 1,100 receiving yards each year, highlighted by an NFL-leading rushing yardage total and a career-high 1,535 yards receiving in 2020.
