Two games does not seem like a huge deal; however, after the performance by Will Parks in the first preseason game, Keo’s place on the actual roster is in question.

The punishment stems from Keo’s arrest in Idaho on February 13 on a charge of driving under the influence.
Broncos can release Keo, if they so desire, but the team has yet to make it clear if that is the direction they will go. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI and was sentenced to one-year probation. He also was ordered to pay a $952.50 fine, speak at eight high schools and follow all requirements of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. Troy Renck, formerly of the Denver Post, stated a suspension was likely for the 28-year old safety.
Assorted injuries at the Broncos’ safety position last season led to Keo playing in the final four regular-season games a year ago, plus two more in the postseason.
This is Keo’s second year with the Broncos after being signed by Denver on December 9, 2015.

While not a key contributor in the Broncos run to Super Bowl 50, Keo was solid, most-famously recovering an onside kick against the Patriots to secure the trip to the championship.
