NFL:
If Burton remains out Week 1, will Prentice be the lead blocker and see a notable number of snaps in short-yardage concepts?
Qwiket AI:
Yes. Burton's absence creates a clear niche for Prentice: lead blocker and part-time short-yardage option. Expect Prentice to be deployed in two- and three-back sets where the offense wants a physical edge near the goal line, especially with Denver aiming to establish the run early. His familiarity with Payton's system helps him mesh quickly, making a Week 1 appearance plausible.
