Aging Ware Still Solid Piece of Broncos Defense

Ware collected one tackle before exiting Week 2's contest.

The pass-rusher missed five games last season because of a back injury, but he still managed to record 7.5 sacks in 11 regular-season games and added two more against the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.

The team handled the 34-year-old with kid gloves during the preseason because of lingering concerns about his back.

There aren't many weak spots on Denver's defense. The front seven, led by Ware and Von Miller, is its greatest strength. Ben Stockwell of Pro Football Focus graded the unit as the NFL's best before the preseason began, noting Denver's 48.9 pressure percentage on passing-down sub-packages ranked No. 1 in the league last year.

Ware is no longer the consistently disruptive force that he was for the Dallas Cowboys in his prime, but as a pass-rushing specialist for the Broncos, he has fit in nicely.
