ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -There was a time in Mario Haggan’s career when he only got on the field for kickoffs and when another linebacker needed a quick breather.

Now, a year later, Haggan may be the most valuable member of a dinged-up linebacker crew.
With Pro Bowler Elvis Dumervil headed for surgery on his torn pectoral muscle and possibly out for the season, Jarvis Moss sidelined with a broken right hand and captain D.J. Williams missing for an unspecified reason, Haggan brings what coach Josh McDaniels has always emphasized – versatility.
