Before the Broncos’ played a snap in 2020 they were dealing with injury woes in the receiver room. After a Pro Bowl season in 2019, Courtland Sutton injured the AC joint in his right shoulder days before the season opener and missed the week one contest against the Tennessee Titans. He wasn’t alone, as he was joined by the Broncos’ second round pick K.J. Hamler, who also missed the first game of the 2020 season with a hamstring injury.
Sutton and Hamler both returned for the Broncos’ second game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but only one made it through the contest.
