Taylor Rapp contributes significantly to Broncos' defense amid injuries

Veteran safety Taylor Rapp has emerged as a key player for the Denver Broncos this season after being signed this summer. With Talanoa Hufanga sidelined due to an ankle injury, Rapp has participated in 69.3% of defensive snaps over the last two games, totaling eight tackles. His experience, along with his ability to quickly integrate into the team's defensive scheme, has drawn praise from both defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and head coach Sean Payton. The Broncos elevated Rapp from the practice squad after Hufanga's injury, and if called up again, it could lead to his promotion to the 53-man roster.
