Once the Broncos determined earlier this month that Mike McGlinchey’s knee injury would cost him a matter of weeks rather than months, a palpable relief spread through the organization.When he returned to the field just two weeks later, jumping right back into the starting lineup with nary a ramp-up required, coaches and teammates were thrilled.“We’re better when he’s out there,” head coach Sean Payton said.That might seem like an obvious statement considering Denver gave McGlinchey a five-year contract in March worth up to $87.5 million ($52.5 million guaranteed).But while the Broncos shored up one question this offseason — the right tackle revolving door — another remains unanswered going into the preseason’s final weekend.Is Denver equipped to handle an injury or, in the case of a 2022 reprisal, multiple injuries to tackles McGlinchey and Garett Bolles?If the preseason knee sprain to McGlinchey was a tornado warning siren blaring on the first Wednesday of the month — to ensure wo...
