Broncos rookie Noah Fant sustained a right foot injury in the first quarter of Monday night’s preseason game against San Francisco.
Fant was injured during an 11-yard catch on third-and-24 when he cut back toward the middle of the field for extra yardage and was hit low by safety Jaquiski Tartt.
Fant hobbled to the bench area, where he was examined for several minutes by the Broncos’ training staff.
Fant did not leave the bench area, but did not return to the game.
The Broncos faced San Francisco without tight ends Jeff Heuerman (who injured his shoulder two weeks ago but had returned to practice) and Jake Butt (who has not played in the preseason because of knee soreness).
