The Denver Broncos are hurting at the tight end position heading into their game this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals, as they will be without both A.J. Derby and Jeff Heuerman due to injury.
Derby has been the Broncos’ top pass catching threat at the tight end position, while Heuerman has been their best run blocker at the position. As a matter of fact, Heuerman has been the second best graded run blocker on the team behind rookie Garett Bolles.
That leaves veteran Virgil Green as the only healthy tight end on the active roster, which will likely prompt some moves by the team ahead of Sunday’s game.
