One of the most disappointing losses to injured reserve for the Denver Broncos this past season was 2017 third round pick Carlos Henderson. Henderson was lost after suffering a thumb injury in training camp, and aggravating it in a preseason game requiring surgery.
The Broncos were very conservative with Henderson, placing him on injured reserve before the start of the season, which prevented them from bringing him back from IR at any point in the year.
The disappointing loss of Henderson to injury was compounded recently after he was arrested for possession of marijuana as a passenger in the vehicle of his friend in Louisiana.
