ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A.J. Derby and Jeff Heuerman, who missed the week’s practices with shoulder and knee injuries, respectively, were ruled out for Sunday's game, leaving Virgil Green as the Broncos' lone healthy tight end on the active roster available against the Bengals.
Head Coach Vance Joseph said the team is exploring all options to go into the game with a second tight end, but he wouldn't comment on whether that meant the Broncos would sign someone to the active roster or simply play a tackle at tight end.
"It's tough to just do that without having a spot, so we've got to find a spot if that's the way we're going to go," said Joseph of potentially signing a tight end.
