Not much after that, the player was no longer Fuller's teammate. (AP Photo/David Richard, File)

FILE - In this Monday, Aug. 5, 2019, file photograph, Denver Broncos defensive back Jamal Carter takes part in drills during an NFL football training camp session in Englewood, Colo. With a rash of injuries at inside linebacker, the Denver Broncos went searching for a suitable fill-in, and they didn't have to look very far. The Broncos moved third-year safety Jamal Carter over to linebacker this week to help out at a position that's been hit hard: Todd Davis strained a calf on the first day of training camp and hasn't been back. Fellow starter Josey Jewell has missed time with a strained oblique muscle and backup Joe Jones is dealing with a strained triceps. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski,File)
