Greenlaw is participating at training camp after an injury-riddled offseason. What's expected of him this year with the Broncos?

Greenlaw will serve as one of the two starting inside linebackers in defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's scheme this fall. He will be joined by Alex Singleton (after Singleton returns from a broken thumb with a club) when the Broncos host the Tennessee Titans in their season opener on Sept. 7 ( view the full schedule ).

"I was a foster kid growing up, so there's not a lot of times that people just wanted me," Greenlaw said. "It just made me feel special. It made me feel like this is the place where I needed to be."
