Andy Janovich’s injury means Andrew Beck has a big opportunity.
Broncos coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Janovich suffered a season-ending elbow dislocation Sunday in Minnesota. It’s not yet known if surgery is needed, but Janovich will be heading to injured reserve.
That means Beck, a rookie who had seen sparse playing time at tight end, will be the Broncos’ new fullback.
“He played there some for us in the past, and when ‘Jano’ when down (against Minnesota), he got a quick refresher course on the sideline and then went in there and did fine,” Fangio said.
