2023 Fantasy Outlook
After recording 24 total tackles, five sacks, two passes defended and one interception across 14 games in 2022, Browning underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus earlier this offseason. The 24-year-old linebacker was placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, and it remains to be seen if he will be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign. When healthy, Browning will look to provide a boost to the Broncos' linebacker corps. Read Past Outlooks
Shifts to reserve/PUP list
The Broncos placed Browning (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Browning underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus during the offseason and began training camp on the active/PUP list. He was considered likely to begin the season on the PUP list and will officially be forced to miss the first four games of the year following Tuesday's move. He won't be eligible to suit up until at least early October, but it's not yet clear when the Broncos expect him back in action.

Keenan Allen and Mike Williams both expect to play this week, while the Chiefs are hurting at wide receiver and the Saints and Bills appear thin on defense.
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Browning was a five-star recruit out of high school and turned into a solid player at Ohio State, where he played 43 games. He didn't turn into a star, however, making just nine starts. Denver -- who took him 105th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft -- was likely keyed in on Browning due to his athleticism, though. Browning turned in a 4.55-second 40-yard dash at 245 pounds and notched a 40-inch vertical. He has all the tools to develop into an every-down linebacker in the NFL, and going to a team coached by Vic Fangio should help unlock those gifts.
