The Denver Broncos lost Albert Okwuegbunam for the rest of 2020 with a torn ACL.

The Denver Broncos will have to press on for the remainder of the 2020 season without stud rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam.

Okwuegbunam was fighting for extra yardage on a 3rd-and-6 play against the Atlanta Falcons when he went down with a knee injury. Although it didn’t appear as though Okwuegbunam was being pulled down awkwardly, he immediately clutched his knee in pain after the play, a clear indicator that something bad had happened.
