Injuries at center provide “great opportunity” for journeyman Broncos lineman Casey Tucker

The scene Wednesday morning was probably the last thing Broncos offensive lineman Casey Tucker envisioned when he reported to training camp last month: Delivering shotgun snaps to quarterback Russell Wilson during a walk-through portion of practice.

“No, I actually didn’t to be straight honest,” Tucker said with a laugh. “I didn’t picture that.”

What the Broncos didn’t picture this week was seeing their center position depleted. Starter Lloyd Cushenberry (knee) missed all four days of practice and rookie Luke Wattenberg (ankle) missed three days after being injured against Dallas. His status for Saturday’s preseason game at Buffalo is uncertain.
