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

Denver enters Week 5 at Philadelphia light on tight end depth.

Overview

  • Denver placed Lucas Krull on short-term injured reserve after an MRI revealed a broken foot, with local reporting identifying it as a Jones fracture.
  • IR rules require a minimum four-game absence, making Week 9 at Houston the earliest possible return for Krull.
  • The Broncos promoted linebacker Garrett Wallow to the 53-man roster after he reached the limit on practice-squad elevations.
  • With Krull out, the available tight ends are Evan Engram, Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins for the matchup against the Eagles.
  • Krull had been used primarily on running downs, logging roughly one-third of offensive snaps through three games with two receptions for 15 yards this season.
