Broncos Place TE Lucas Krull on Short-Term IR With Broken Foot

The move sidelines a key run blocker for at least four games, increasing pressure on Denver's thin tight end group.

Overview

  • An MRI after Thursday's practice showed a broken bone in Krull's foot, reported locally as a Jones fracture.
  • By rule, he must miss a minimum of four games, making Week 9 at Houston the earliest possible return.
  • Denver filled the roster spot by promoting linebacker Garrett Wallow from the practice squad after he reached the elevation limit.
  • The available tight ends for Week 5 at Philadelphia are Evan Engram, Nate Adkins and Adam Trautman.
  • Krull had been used primarily on running downs, logging limited receiving production with two catches for 15 yards this season.
