Broncos safety/linebacker hybrid Su’a Cravens is healthy again and eligible to be activated from injured reserve to the 53-man roster this week.

“Su’a’s been good for about a week and a half,” coach Vane Joseph said after practice Wednesday. “Obviously, those guys [Cravens and receiver Jordan Taylor] are ready to come up to the roster, so a move has to be made to get them up. We’ll see.”

After trading away receiver Demaryius Thomas, Denver actually has an opening on the 53-man roster. So the team wouldn’t have to make a corresponding move to activate Cravens.

“I think Su’a is a natural in-the-box dime linebacker,” Joseph said. “With all the passing game you’re seeing on first and second down out of three-wides, he’s a perfect fit for what we’re seeing now from offenses. We’ll see how the week goes, but he’s excited, he’s healthy and he wants to help.”

Cravens believes he can make an immediate impact on the Broncos’ defense.

“I just feel like we’re not making every play that we should make,” Cravens said. “We’re leaving a lot of plays out there and a lot of our games have come down to one score. Hopefully, I can be the one that comes in and picks up those plays that we’re missing on and that’s what we need to get this ball rolling.”

Cravens will likely make his 2018 debut against the Texans.
